FirstEnergy Pushes Back on PJM’s Data Center Power Backstop Plan
Key Takeaways
- FirstEnergy supports the goal of PJM’s proposed reliability backstop but opposes PJM acting as a middleman in generation contracting.
- The utility says large customers driving new demand, especially data centers, should contract more directly for the power they need.
- Its disclosed pipeline shows how quickly the issue is growing, with 4.3 GW contracted by 2031 and 14.9 GW of potential projects by 2035.
