notes: "Largest US grid operator (13 states + DC, incl. Northern Virginia). News releases are PDF files linked from the announcements page (the www.pjm.com RSS endpoint returns an empty channel); Inside Lines is the WordPress newsroom with an RSS feed (robots.txt allows everything but /wp-admin/; served at L1 to the crawler UA, but a generic 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; …)' UA gets 403 from its WAF). Hot-weather / operations updates mention data centers in passing and are archived as events only."
