The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rejected Amazon's amended Interconnection Service Agreement for increased co-located load at the Cumulus datacenter, emphasizing potential risks to grid reliability and costs.
Federal regulators were concerned that allowing more power to the Cumulus site could set a precedent affecting grid stability and lead to increased energy costs for consumers.
Utilities American Electric Power and Exelon raised objections to the amended ISA, claiming it favored Amazon's Cumulus site and could reduce overall energy availability in the region.
FERC's order indicated a lack of sufficient justification for Amazon's request to expand power supply from the Susquehanna plant, necessitating further review.
