Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-05 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The verified commitment was an outcome-oriented request that FERC make PJM's proposed data center registry public. Verified evidence shows Pallone urged that public-registry outcome, so effort is documented. But as of 2026-10-05, the registry proposal had a requested effective date of 2026-10-12, and PJM's public registry information was still listed as prospective for March 2027. There is no verified evidence that the registry was already public or that a partial public outcome attributable to Pallone had occurred, and no deadline has expired.
