Data centers drive buildout of gas power plants and pipelines in the Southeast Southeastern utilities and pipeline companies in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia are planning a major buildout of natural gas infrastructure over the next 15 years.

Southeastern utilities are overbuilding power plants & pipelines in response to projected #datacenter #energy demand. #Ratepayers are subsidizing the cost of electrical infrastructure built to serve data centers & subsidization will worsen if infrastructure is overbuilt ieefa.org/resources/da...

PJM Faces Critical Decision on Electricity Costs for Millions of Americans A coalition of state legislators has proposed a plan to safeguard 67 million Americans from unfair electricity costs and reliability risks driven by the surging demand of data centers, with a vote scheduled for November 19th. The "Protecting Ratepayers Proposal" aims to address concerns that without proper management, electricity costs could escalate by over $100 billion through 2033, while Illinois has already taken steps towards mitigating the issue by investing in battery storage and smart grid technologies, highlighting the need for a regional solution to tackle the growing power scarcity posed by rapidly expanding data centers.

Maryland Lawmakers Urge PJM Interconnection to Protect Residents from Escalating Data Center Costs A growing coalition of lawmakers, including Maryland state Sen. Katie FryHester, is urging PJM Interconnection, which oversees power supply for 67 million people in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, to take steps to protect residents from escalating costs associated with increasing power consumption by data centers. The lawmakers are advocating for measures to ensure equitable distribution of costs and prevent ratepayers from subsidizing the expansion of these operations, emphasizing the need for careful planning and proactive strategies to manage increased power needs while safeguarding financial well-being.

Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

Something to consider before asking ChatGPT anything. OpenAI's new data centers will consume 17 Gigawatts of power. More than NYC & San Diego combined. This is waste on an incomprehensible scale. fortune.com/2025/09/24/s... #AI #datacenters #ratepayers

New Jersey Takes Aim at PJM Grid Operator Over Performance Concerns New Jersey is challenging its established partnership with PJM Interconnection, the regional grid operator, through newly proposed legislation. Concerns have arisen regarding PJM's performance, including substantial delays in integrating new energy projects, perceived resistance to clean energy advancements, and the resulting increase in electricity rates for New Jersey residents. A lack of transparency in PJM’s decision-making processes, addressed to some extent by Maryland’s prior actions, has also fueled this push for change. The proposed bill outlines a layered approach spearheaded by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. Key components include mandatory capacity contracting, requiring energy providers to secure at least 80% of future capacity needs for a five-year period. The bill also contemplates potentially withdrawing from PJM’s capacity market and establishing a collaborative “multi-state compact” to implement a fixed resource requirement model. Furthermore, the legislation directs research into the feasibility of complete grid independence, examining options like joining an alternative regional grid or developing a New Jersey-led system. The bill emphasizes a collaborative approach, encouraging cooperation with other states experiencing similar issues with PJM. This legislative effort marks a pioneering step, making New Jersey the first state to introduce such comprehensive measures. Maryland Delegate Lorig Charkoudian has voiced support for New Jersey’s initiative, referencing Maryland's existing transparency efforts. Simultaneously, Governor Murphy and state leaders have announced a $430 million energy relief package for ratepayers, offering immediate financial assistance while the legislative process progresses. This situation reflects a broader trend of growing dissatisfaction with PJM’s performance among states within the region. Key players involved include the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, tasked with research and recommendations; legislators like Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin; Maryland Delegate Lorig Charkoudian; Governor Phil Murphy, who supports the effort and has implemented rate relief; and PJM Interconnection itself, the focal point of the controversy.

Why regulatory bodies and PUC's must start insisting that large energy demand projects build their own infrastructure instead of soaking ratepayers and taxpayers for it.
