EEI Statement on President Trump–Governor Proposal to Protect Customers and Ensure Data Centers Pay Their Fair Share
December 2025
Recently, President Donald Trump and a bipartisan group of governors called on PJM Interconnection to hold an emergency auction to require technology companies to fund new electricity generation needed to serve growing data center demand.
“We support President Trump and the Governors' focus on swift changes to help lower energy costs for customers and get more power plants online,” said EEI President and CEO Drew Maloney in response. “We have called for fundamental reforms to ensure resource adequacy in PJM. We look forward to working with FERC and the state commissions to be part of the solution.”
