NERC's board adopted its first standards for connecting large computer loads, such as data centers. They now go to FERC for approval. Data center owners will need to supply verified models of their sites. They will also need to coordinate how sites ride through or drop off during grid disturbances. That changes the risk picture for both the utility and the data center. Source: NERC.
