PJM Interconnection said data centers may face involuntary outages under a plan to avert widespread blackouts and protect residential ratepayers from electricity price spikes, Bloomberg reported Monday.
Digital warehouses that fail to secure enough power generation could be temporarily dropped from the grid during high-demand periods as soon as mid-2027, though operators could receive compensation for such outages, the report said, citing a letter to stakeholders.
"The present trajectory of rapid load growth, tightening supply and rising capacity costs is not sustainable," said Paula Conboy, chair of PJM's board of managers, according to the report.
