PJM is replacing its first-come, first-served interconnection queue with a system that prioritizes viable, ready-to-build energy projects. By filtering out speculative proposals, the grid operator aims to reduce delays, accelerate new power generation, and support the surging electricity demand created by AI data centers.

FERC is pressuring six regional grid operators to reform years-long interconnection backlogs that are delaying new energy projects and data center expansion. By prioritizing viable, construction-ready projects over speculative proposals, regulators hope to accelerate grid access and remove a growing bottleneck for America’s energy and AI ambitions.
