PJM
A regional transmission organization in the United States responsible for coordinating electricity dispatch across 13 states and the District of Columbia.
Timeline (last 90 days)
There are precedents in Europe and the United States for data centers participating in grid operators' frequency regulation and capacity markets, but this requires technical conditions such as bidirectional metering, protection setting adjustments and grid connection permits, and also involves dispatch agreements with regional transmission organizations (such as PJM and MISO).
In the United States, generation or storage projects must submit interconnection applications to regional grid operators (such as PJM, CAISO, ERCOT, etc.) before connecting to the grid, and can only sign interconnection agreements after passing multiple rounds of review.
Major U.S. regional power grids are operated by multiple ISOs/RTOs, such as PJM, MISO, CAISO, ISO-NE, and NYISO, each with its own independent market clearing rules and price formation mechanisms.
The 2024/2025 delivery year auction results show that clearing prices in certain PJM constrained sub-zones (such as EMAAC and SWMAAC) surged approximately 900% compared to the previous delivery year.
The results of the 2024 capacity auction showed that clearing prices in some PJM sub-regions surged nearly 10 times compared to the previous year.
The PJM electricity market is the largest regional transmission organization in the United States, covering 13 states and Washington D.C., and uses a three-year forward capacity auction mechanism (RPM).
Regional electricity markets in the United States such as PJM and ERCOT use a Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) mechanism, where prices can fluctuate from a few cents to hundreds of dollars or even turn negative.
