Other Stakeholder Questions and Answers

How does the commodity forecast account for planned natural gas fired generation in the PJM queue and the expansion of natural gas exports when developing natural gas price assumptions?
PJM and FERC are both considering policies to require the major new load from data centers to be “bring your own generation,” that the data centers provide themselves off grid. There may be a significant shift of new load off grid provided on site by other sources. How can you predict this in the IRP?
