was written by BloombergNEF Analyst Derrick Flakoll. It appeared first on the Bloomberg Terminal.<\/i><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission\u2019s (FERC\u2019s) long-awaited June 18 orders on grid connections for large loads could accelerate development for hyperscale data centers and protect consumer power bills in regions due to host over 60% of the nation\u2019s projected data-center power demand in 2035.<\/p>\n<p>Yet with major data center hubs like Texas, Georgia and Arizona not covered by these rules, and a months-long process to customize FERC\u2019s rules for each major grid region, it remains unclear whether the orders will deliver on their objective.<\/p>\n<p>Broadly, the FERC orders aim to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prevent new large loads from raising costs for other customers, both by requiring large loads to pay for new generation and transmission upgrades they need and by reducing risks that utilities will overspend on those upgrades.<\/li>\n<li>Increase speed and minimize complexity and cost of interconnection studies needed for large loads, including by requiring the consideration of grid-enhancing technologies (GETs), which may be faster and cheaper than conventional transmission upgrades.<\/li>\n<li>Expedite interconnection studies for new generation matched to large loads, which may present fewer complexities and risks than generation or load studied alone.<\/li>\n<li>Create flexible transmission service for large loads, reducing peak power demand and related infrastructure costs and risks.<\/li>\n<li>Enable smaller and more flexible transmission tariffs for loads co-located with generation to support the four goals above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Commission emphasized that these orders were customized to each of the six major US regional power markets, and that they were meant to complement and accelerate, but not supersede, recent reforms in regions like the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and PJM, the largest US grid and the nation\u2019s data center capital. Yet with the future of AI potentially hanging in the balance \u2014 along with the power bills of over 200 million customers \u2014 the devil will be in the details of these six distinct orders, and in how each RTO puts them into practice.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\"

innovations first proposed for PJM and SPP. The Commission has cited SPP as a model to other regional grids for its proposals to off er curtailable service to large loads during transmission upgrades and to accelerate interconnection studies for High Impact Large Loads (HILLs) and matching on-site or associated power supplies \u2014 an approach known as \u201cbring your own new generation.\u201d In their remarks, commissioners and staff also made clear that PJM\u2019s new procedures for downsizing and expediting transmission upgrades for large loads that co-locate with a behind-the-meter power supply should be implemented throughout the other power regions.<\/p>\n<p>Still, even regional leaders face regulatory pressure to accelerate implementation. The commissioners urged PJM to implement its co-location tariffs ahead of its 2029 target and to use next month\u2019s technical conference to streamline its governance amid surging power prices. FERC also ordered the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) to change its demand response program. More broadly, the commission asked all independent system operators (ISOs) to move faster as massive data center loads rapidly approach.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<h2>FERC\u2019s limits and the road ahead<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>Given the fast-moving challenge of the AI scale-up, there\u2019s only so much FERC orders can accomplish. The federal regulator has limited jurisdiction over transmission interconnection within vertically-integrated utility states in the South and the Northwest or in the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (Ercot), the islanded grid covering most of the Lone Star State. Its very authority to regulate large load interconnection has been disputed by state-level utility regulators and former FERC commissioners like ex-chair Mark Christie. Even with an RTO in its jurisdiction, FERC can take months or years to agree on a final rule for that region.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, these moves by FERC on large load interconnection mostly aim to confirm and accelerate standards for large load study processes, flexibility and ratepayer protections emerging among many states and, increasingly, the RTOs themselves. Each RTO must now submit a filing explaining how it\u2019s conforming to FERC\u2019s orders within 60 days, kicking off a back-and-forth negotiation between the regions and federal regulators to arrive at a solution. As FERC walks a tightrope between promoting shared standards and respecting each market\u2019s unique structure, the risk is that an ineffective reform proposal slips through the process \u2013 or that bureaucracy or federal-local infighting paralyze the regulatory process until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-6aa9b481db509'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <div class=\"bbg-accordion transparent\">\n\t<input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"bbg-accordion-toggle-6aa9b481dc912\">\n\t<div class=\"bbg-accordion-parent\" data-accordion-toggle aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t<label class=\"bbg-accordion-label\" for=\"bbg-accordion-toggle-6aa9b481dc912\">\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"bbg-accordion-title\" data-label=\"Disclaimer\">\n\t\tDisclaimer\n\t<\/h5>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"bbg-accordion-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"bb-wysiwyg\">\n\t<p>The data included in these materials are for illustrative purposes only.
