Addressing Power Generation Delays Globally
As demand accelerates, power generation delays are impacting project timelines, financing and insurability. Global
challenges in securing reliable power are prompting significant reforms, including:
UK: National Grid’s “First Ready, First Connected” (FRFC) reforms prioritize green energy projects
that are both ready and needed, replacing the previous first come, first served model. Reform aims to accelerate the
connection of viable clean energy projects, reduce delays and support the UK’s 2030 clean power mission.5
These efforts will help in areas such as West London, where severe electricity grid capacity constraints, driven by
data center development, are delaying housing projects.6
U.S.: The PJM Interconnection (PJM), which coordinates the movement of electricity through all or
parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia,7 faces significant interconnection delays…
