On top of its 350 MW of current data center load, PSEG has received formal applications for nearly 400 MW of new data center load and inquiries on over 1,200 MW in data center feasibility studies in new business.

The New York Department of Public Service presented a proposal for updating the method by which NYISO determines peak load hours to the ISO’s Installed Capacity Working Group.

Dominion Energy reported net income of $953 million in the third quarter this year, as it continued to see load growth from data centers, progress on its offshore wind project, and infrastructure damage from Hurricane Helene.

A common refrain at FERC’s technical conference on the co-location of data centers was that the issue is just part the broader problem of resource adequacy.

FERC Commissioner David Rosner talked about his hope for more consensus on rehearing for Order 1920, and a panel of experts discussed supply chain issues at the WIRES fall meeting.

The Western Area Power Administration said its Sierra Nevada region will pursue “final negotiations” to join CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market, notching another — if expected — victory for the ISO in its competition with SPP’s Markets+.  

FERC approved a complaint from Old Dominion Electric Cooperative over mischarges from FirstEnergy, ordering the utility to start paying back the co-op after they were in a dispute over how that should happen.

A representative of one of the staunchest opponents of past efforts to transform CAISO into an RTO said his labor union plans to sponsor the legislation needed to implement the “Step 2” proposal of the West-Wide Governance Pathways Initiative.

NV Energy’s decision to join CAISO's Extended Day-Ahead Market rather than SPP's Markets+ was based partly on concerns that participation in the latter would “lead to substantial expenditures with limited results,” a representative of the Nevada utility said.
