Faced with plant retirements and load growth, PJM looks to Tapestry to help accelerate grid connections. Tapestry, Google’s moonshot for the electric grid, is making its debut on an American transmission network, through a partnership announced today with PJM. The pair will develop AI-powered tools to streamline and accelerate the process of connecting new generation to the grid — against a complicated backdrop of load growth, shifting federal stances on fossil fuels, and uncertainty around tariffs on power imported from Canada.
