Description
Description | The PJM electricity grid, covering 13 states including West Virginia, is currently not ready to support the expected growth in data centers due to outdated infrastructure and lack of new investments in generation and transmission. The grid's critical infrastructure is 50 to 60 years old, and there is a mismatch between the rapid buildout of data centers and the slower development of supporting infrastructure. PJM has been slow to approve new resources, especially renewables, to connect to the grid, posing challenges for grid reliability and electricity consumers. |
