The operator of the largest U.S. power grid said it is moving to address a projected electricity supply gap tied to surging demand growth from AI.
PJM Interconnection, which operates the largest U.S. power grid, is entering an emergency process to respond to a projected power supply shortfall. The development is tied to surging demand growth from AI, which has been adding pressure to electricity systems as data-center expansion lifts power consumption. The move signals growing strain on grid planning as operators try to keep enough generation available to meet rising demand.
