FERC approves PJM's request to create data center database

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has authorised grid operator PJM to establish a dedicated database tracking data center infrastructure. However, the regulator declined a related proposal that sought to mandate electricity curtailments for computing facilities during times of elevated grid strain. The ruling reflects the complex regulatory dynamics between transmission authorities and rapid enterprise compute expansion.
