California ISO board approves faster connection rules for large loads such as data centres
What changed
The proposal includes a flexible interim interconnection that lets a large load connect before network upgrades are finished, with enforceable flexibility based on grid conditions, plus a framework to prevent cost shifting and rules for co-located load and generation. CAISO will file it with FERC by 16 November in response to FERC's June show cause order on large loads.
