LPPC Submits Comments to FERC on Proceeding on Interconnections for Data Centers and Large Loads

LPPC recently submitted comments to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in its proceeding on interconnections for data centers and other large loads. We strongly support data center and AI-driven growth and the significant grid investments it will require, and we thank the Department of Energy for bringing these issues forward for timely action.

LPPC’s comments outline a consensus-based approach to large-load interconnection protocols as the fastest way to get the needed infrastructure built. It is critical for FERC, states, public power systems, and other stakeholders to align on a shared framework in order to move projects to “yes” more quickly, maintain strong consumer protections, and avoid years of jurisdictional arguments at a time when the electric grid needs practical solutions.
