The largest U.S. power grid, PJM Interconnection LLC, may be too large to function effectively, according to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chair Laura Swett. Speaking at the grid operator's annual meeting, Swett expressed concerns about PJM's ability to manage the significant electricity demand from data centers, particularly driven by AI. She announced a July 23 conference to discuss necessary reforms, emphasizing the need for a market that can meet demand during this critical energy transition.
