Federal regulators are forcing the nation’s largest grid operator to rewrite its rules for data centers that plug directly into power plants, a move aimed squarely at the wave of nuclear deals Big Tech companies are assembling to feed artificial intelligence workloads.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has opened a show-cause proceeding directing PJM Interconnection to propose new tariff provisions for co-located load, including data centers, along with the interconnection and transmission service terms that govern how those facilities connect to the grid.
At the same time, Constellation Energy is advancing regulatory steps to restart the reactor formerly known as Three Mile Island Unit 1, and Amazon has already filed a transmission security agreement with a local utility to secure capacity in the same region.
Together, these actions set up a direct collision between Big Tech’s appetite for carbon-free power and the grid rules designed to keep electricity affordable for everyone else.
Let's get more nuke power on-line.....So big tech can suck it all away.....Come on man.
And wait, when the "next big thing" comes along the nuke plants will be the first ones closed down so your electric bill won't go down.
Enjoy making an AI video of yourself....Never mind the six fingers AI thinks everyone has.
