Two power industry CEOs at the Gulf Coast Power Association’s spring conference offered two different takes on ERCOT load growth over the rest of the decade — and how the sector should deal with a potential doubling of peak demand by 2031.

The troubled Texas Energy Fund has lost two more projects from its original list of applicants, raising questions about its ability to quickly add 10 GW of gas-fired dispatchable resources to the ERCOT grid.

A data center campus planned in western Pennsylvania would include up to 4.5 GW of on-site gas-fired generation and be the largest facility of its kind in the U.S., a group of developers announced.

The current debate in the U.S. electricity sector pitting efforts to increase renewables against the need for grid reliability in the face of growing demand could be unnecessary and counterproductive, according to one expert.

MISO’s real-time energy prices in February 2025 nearly doubled from a year earlier as the footprint saw higher load and gas prices.

State energy officials emphasized the need for increased oversight for transmission investments at Raab Associates’ New England Electricity Restructuring Roundtable.

While NYISO operated reliably last winter, the season provided “continued examples of limited flexibility on the gas system,” ISO staff told the Operating Committee.

FERC's State of the Markets report showed lower wholesale energy prices but growing demand and higher capacity prices that signal a need to meet the coming load.
