What PJM does
PJM operates the high-voltage grid from the Mid-Atlantic into parts of the Midwest. It runs energy markets, a capacity market, and the interconnection process for new generators. Its region includes northern Virginia, one of the largest data center markets in the world.
How PJM differs from ERCOT
- PJM crosses state lines, so it is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as well as by the states.
- PJM has a capacity market. ERCOT does not.
- Large loads in PJM ask the local utility for service, and state rules vary.
