AI Summary
FirstEnergy has proposed a cost‑allocation model used in the gas pipeline industry, urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to mandate that data centers cover the transmission upgrades required to connect them to the grid. The company’s request was made on Friday, ahead of FERC’s anticipated large load interconnection decision scheduled for June 18. Currently, the costs of such upgrades are spread across existing customers. FirstEnergy argues that data centers should pay directly for the infrastructure needed to bring them online.
