## Quote — verbatim

> At this rate... they will be out of reliability standards by June 2027 — that means the grid is no longer reliable... The energy cost increased by 200% for Northern Virginia residents.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

On PJM and "data center alley" (US-East); dated, checkable prediction. The 200% residential cost figure is attributed to a Wall Street Journal report.
