PJM Orders Dominion ‘Immediate Need’ Projects to Serve Load Jump in ‘Data Center Alley’
Data center additions listed in the 2022 load forecasts provided by Dominion and Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) were "noticeably higher" than in their 2021 forecasts, PJM said. Dominion's 2022 load forecast predicts a 3% annualized growth rate for 2022-2027, all resulting from data center loads. | PJM

PJM said “Data Center Alley” in Northern Virginia needs more transmission to support a 4-GW increase in load, despite $230 million in pending projects.
