PJM data center colocation plan takes fire from Vistra, data center group, others
- •PJM's current framework for data centers with co-located generation is under fire for failing to eliminate curtailment risk, even when generation is sufficient to meet the load.
- •The Data Center Coalition and Vistra are challenging PJM's approach before FERC, arguing it disincentivizes self-generation and makes such investments unattractive for large loads.
- •This regulatory uncertainty in PJM questions the economic viability and attractiveness of deploying co-located generation solutions for data centers.
