PJM, the nation’s biggest electricity grid overseeing Maryland, Washington D.C., and more than a dozen states, has received the go-ahead from the Trump administration to require certain large customers, including data centers, to use backup generators during a heat wave. The directive aims to ease the grid’s burden and maintain reliable power amid soaring temperatures.

As a powerful winter storm looms, Compass Datacenters voices its support for Secretary Wright’s policy enabling data centers to tap backup generators. This measure aims to safeguard critical infrastructure and maintain essential digital services across the nation.
