Xcel Energy says that a partnership with NextEra Energy will allow its operating companies to contract up to 6 GW of data center capacity by the end of 2027.

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.

EPRI, InfraPartners, NVIDIA and Prologis will assess ways data centers in the 5- to 20-MW range can be built quickly at or near utility substations that have available capacity.

A federal order to keep Unit 1 of the coal-fired Craig Generating Station operational past its planned retirement date seems disconnected from grid realities, a Colorado state energy official said.

Work on the $7.5 billion, 810-MW project off the New York coast has been halted twice by the administration and resumed twice by the Norwegian developer.

SPP says ample wind generation during the January winter storm enabled it to export as much as 3,500 MW to its neighbors in the Eastern Interconnection.

Energy efficiency and load flexibility would be effective and cost far less than the new generation assets many jurisdictions are planning to build to meet anticipated load growth, a new report asserts.

Misguided NIMBYism or corporate welfare either obstructs the building of new data centers or compels taxpayers to subsidize them, writes energy consultant Kenneth W. Costello.

All five FERC commissioners faced questions from the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy on how to balance reliability and affordability as demand grows.

The new ERAS processes in MISO and SPP allow certain power plants to effectively jump the interconnection line, skipping ahead of hundreds of other projects already waiting their turn, writes Southern Renewable Energy Association Executive Director Simon Mahan.
