Constellation Energy filed a formal protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission against PJM Interconnection. The challenge targets PJM’s proposed framework for managing grid reliability amid surging electricity demand from data centers.

Constellation argues the proposed Interim Resource Adequacy Service for large customers is discriminatory. The company contends the plan unfairly singles out new power users for potential service curtailments.

This proposal departs from the long-standing industry principle that all customers receive equally firm service. The dispute highlights growing tension between operators and generators over the costs of ensuring grid stability.
