The winter storm that moved through Texas and much of the Eastern Interconnection cut power to hundreds of thousands of people and stressed the bulk power system, but did not create major disruptions like other storms earlier this decade.

The California Energy Commission signed off on a forecast showing the state's electricity consumption could surge by as much as 61% over the next 20 years, mostly from increased EV adoption.

FERC rejected a rehearing request of its order approving SPP’s proposed one-time accelerated study of shovel-ready interconnection requests, sustaining its original 2025 decision.

FERC approved a 40-year license for a proposed 1.2-GW pumped hydroelectric storage facility near the city of Goldendale in Klickitat County, Wash.

MISO declared a maximum generation emergency for its Midwest region just after midnight on Jan. 24 as the northern portions of the footprint rode out double-digit negative temperatures.

FERC ruled that MISO is free to continue using its interconnection queue fast lane, shutting down rehearing requests from several clean energy organizations.

The U.S. Department of Energy said it is restructuring, revising or eliminating more than $83 billion in loans and conditional commitments issued under the Biden administration.

The four aging reactors and their 3.36 GW of output are considered an indispensable part of New York’s power portfolio and decarbonization strategy.

Stakeholders have several lingering questions as MISO continues to draw up a “zero-injection” avenue for large loads with planned on-site generation.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the department is ready to use its authority under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act to dispatch backup generation from large customers if needed ahead of a major winter storm.
