MISO’s inaugural long-term load forecasting survey among its membership uncovered the possibility of 82 GW of data center load additions by 2044.

Cleanview released a report putting numbers to a trend where many hyperscale data center developers are building dirtier, more quickly available generation to cash in on the AI boom.

Earthjustice accused Meta of deliberately executing an unsanctioned financial arrangement to underwrite its planned, multibillion-dollar data center in northern Louisiana and asked the Public Service Commission to investigate.

The Michigan Public Service Commission approved a special contract that will allow DTE Energy to continue its plans to supply a hotly contested, $7 billion data center with nearly 1.4 GW.

AEP tells financial analysts that load growth, driven by commercial customers in its service territory, presents opportunities to invest in “critically needed” infrastructure.

A new study from Duke University says the existing power system could handle much of the demand growth expected in the coming years with no additional generation if artificial intelligence data centers can be persuaded to cut their energy use by as little as 1% during times of peak demand.

Facing proliferating load additions, MISO has begun developing in-house long-term load forecasts after years of relying on outside help to form load outlooks.

Entergy Louisiana confirmed a new, $10 billion Meta AI data center is the motive behind its recent filing to build three new gas plants at a combined 2.3 GW.
