ERCOT staff have promised more clarity on the link between the initial batch study process for large loads and the subsequent studies and existing planning structure during an upcoming workshop.

NYISO is proposing to use a set of multiple scenarios rather than relying on a single base case in its Reliability Planning Process to avoid study-by-study fluctuations in determining reliability needs.

FERC approved four transmission security agreements between Exelon’s Commonwealth Edison and new data center customers in Illinois, laying out conditions for their transmission service.

Data centers’ demand and speed-to-power prerogatives continue to dominate discussions in the electric industry, but some commonsense policy answers are starting to emerge, FERC Commissioners Judy Chang and David Rosner said.

Demand flexibility among data centers could reduce the need for new gas-fired generation needed to supply their energy consumption while driving development of additional renewables and cutting electricity prices, according to a Duke University report.

Advanced conductor manufacturer CTC Global is working with Google Cloud and Tapestry to launch the GridVista System, which combines conductors with fiberoptic cables to offer operators visibility along the entire transmission line.

ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas said the grid operator's proposed batch process to study the 232 GW of large loads seeking interconnection will provide clarity and transparency to data center developers.

MISO unveiled its $8.8 billion 2026 Transmission Expansion Plan, once again made pricier by load growth.

NARUC’s Winter Policy Summit focused on the main issue facing the power industry — how to reliably and affordably interconnect new large load customers.

SPP's Board of Directors approved a framework for demand response and peak demand assessments despite opposition from members and stakeholders.
