Critical Issue Fast Path - Large Load Additions

The PJM Board of Managers initiated the Critical Issue Fast Path (CIFP) stakeholder process by letter PDF on August 8, 2025 to address the development of reliability-focused solutions to ensure large load additions can continue to be integrated rapidly and reliably, without causing resource inadequacy, and while recognizing jurisdictional boundaries and data center relationships with existing Load Serving Entities and/or Electric Distribution Companies. The Board requested stakeholder participation in the CIFP to inform a filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by December 2025.

Chair: Michele Greening
Secretary: Matt Connolly
