White House Pressures PJM To Boost Power Supply
|
7.1
The White House and bipartisan governors on Jan. 15, 2026, pressed PJM Interconnection to boost power supply and curb price hikes by proposing auctions for tech firms to fund new power plants. The effort responds to voter concern about AI data centers’ heavy electricity use and rising consumer bills, and aims to compel grid action ahead of key 2026 elections.

Regional bipartisan push tackles AI-driven electricity demand, but reporting is preliminary and lacks detailed implementation or PJM commitment.
