DOE Large Load Interconnection Proposal Risks Regulatory Collision Course

The expansion of energy-intensive technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, has placed unprecedented demands on the electricity grid. These large loads often require vast sums of firm energy and seek to come online quickly, presenting challenges on capacity-constrained portions of the grid. The rapid pace of development is testing the limits of legacy regulatory frameworks, forcing policymakers to retrofit rules originally crafted for a far more predictable and…
