GO15 member and US power grid operator PJM has announced it would launch a multiyear collaboration with Google and Tapestry – an Alphabet specialized moonshot – to use artificial intelligence tools to help speed up interconnections.
This partnership is aiming at cutting processing times for the review of new interconnection applications, allowing for quicker action in meeting the fast-growing demand for electricity in PJM’s service area of 13 states and D.C.
According to Aftab Khan, PJM’s Executive Vice President – Operations, Planning & Security, “PJM is committed to bringing new generation onto the system as quickly and reliably as possible. We’re leveraging some of the world’s best capabilities with these cutting-edge tools to further reduce completion times for New Service Requests.”
