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.

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 rejected an amended ISA filed by PJM to allow an existing data center co-located at a Talen Energy nuclear plant to expand, saying it did not meet the commission's standards for changes from its pro forma rules.

Entergy said it can tackle industrial load growth with new solar, carbon capture technology at new and existing gas plants and by possibly bringing new nuclear capacity into the mix.

The dispute between Exelon and Constellation Energy continued to play out in FERC, as the latter and others protested a series of filings from the former’s utilities seeking to implement new rules for co-locating data centers at power plants in their territories

Exelon on Sept. 30 filed a petition for a declaratory order from FERC on its dispute with Constellation Energy over the latter’s effort to co-locate major loads at two of its nuclear plants.
