Maven Solutions, a decision-intelligence practice, argues that PJM's current tariff posture on large-load interconnection is inadequate and scores "Conditional" under their Civic Bankability Rating Standard. They recommend that the Commission require PJM to submit specific tariff revisions to improve transparency, cost-causation methodology, and reliability-hold-harmless mechanisms.

The Global Capacity Alliance (GCA), a nonprofit association, is requesting intervenor status to advocate for a "Front-of-the-Meter (FTM) Netting" framework. They argue that this framework allows large loads (like data centers) to privately mitigate curtailment risks through co-located resources, improving grid visibility and reliability without requiring ratepayer subsidies.

Lisa Melton, filing as L.M. Marlowe, is a private citizen and independent researcher who supports the proposed action by providing technical specifications for grid reliability and cost allocation. She argues for a rigorous evaluation of large-load integration based on physical stability, observability, and cost-causation standards.

New Era Energy & Digital Inc., a data center developer, is requesting to intervene in the proceeding to provide comments on PJM's transmission tariff. They argue that PJM should adopt a "Maximum Net Withdrawal" framework for large loads paired with nearby generation and include fast-track processes for safe supply additions like uprates and reactivations in its resource-adequacy report.

Lisa Melton (filing as L.M. Marlowe) is an independent researcher and private citizen who supports the Commission's efforts to address reliability and cost-allocation issues regarding large computational loads. She proposes a specific "boundary-verification" framework to ensure grid stability and cost-causation without requiring access to the proprietary internal operations of data centers.
