Oklo filed an emergency complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reinstate a 750-MW mixed-technology power project.
Oklo filed an emergency complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requesting that the PJM Interconnection reinstate a 750-MW generating project. The project, which consists of a mix of advanced nuclear, natural gas, and fuel cells, was dropped from the interconnection study cycle by PJM.

Oklo stated that the decision will delay the project by at least 14 months and significantly increase development costs. The company claims PJM failed to follow its own rules by not sending a deficiency notice after identifying problems on June 24. Oklo noted that it is prepared to remedy the identified deficiencies, such as the project's ability to ride through a sudden drop in grid voltage. PJM spokesman Jeffrey Shields stated that nearly 90% of the 811 projects that submitted new service requests met the application requirements for the most recent study cycle. PJM plans to respond to Oklo's complaint by Friday. The project is part of a 1.2-GW power campus in Pike County, Ohio, which is backed by Meta.
