# FERC Denies Oklo Interconnection Complaint

On September 24, 2026, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) denied Oklo’s complaint over PJM’s withdrawal of its 750-MW project from Interconnection Study Cycle 01. FERC found that Oklo had not demonstrated a violation of PJM’s tariff and that the project did not satisfy applicable modeling requirements. For developers seeking to connect generation projects to the PJM system, the decision underscores the importance of complete, technically sound interconnection submissions and deficiency responses.

- Developers should validate deficiency responses, including DMDG documentation and Maximum Facility Output modeling, against PJM’s applicable requirements.
- Oklo’s project may be resubmitted through Cycle 02 or PJM’s Expedited Interconnection Track; the signal does not specify deadlines for either path.
- The decision provides a relevant precedent for applicants assessing how tariff compliance and modeling deficiencies can affect a project’s progress through interconnection review.
