Trump Administration Moves to Accelerate AI Power Hookups

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Thursday to grant expedited reviews for data-center grid connections, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg News. Under a draft proposed rule Wright sent to the agency, those reviews would be limited to 60 days, a seismic shift for a process that currently can drag on for years. Faster approvals would help President Donald Trump deliver on his artificial-intelligence ambitions and scale up an industry he sees as vital to competing with China.
