MISO hopes to file a proposal in February to create an exclusive, faster route through its interconnection queue for generation projects that are key to maintaining resource adequacy.

The Louisiana PSC has taken first steps to consider Entergy’s request to power a proposed $5 billion AI data center in north Louisiana with $3.2 billion in mostly natural gas generation.

Advanced Energy United released a report finding major economic benefits from speeding up the queues, which will lead to more investments in generation and associated jobs across the country.

Most stakeholders support a proposal before FERC to exempt energy projects developed by federally recognized Native American tribes from deposits and other fees in the generator interconnection process.

Texas officials have released a report that lays out a path for the state to become a “global nuclear energy hub.”  

Massachusetts lawmakers and industry members must double down on efforts to rapidly scale up new renewable technologies to meet the needs of the energy transition, speakers at the Northeast Energy and Commerce Association’s Energy Innovation Forum emphasized.

EIA data on utility capital spending over the past 20 years shows that an increase in distribution and transmission spending outweighed declines in generation spending.

Stakeholders are split on whether FERC should adopt additional changes to its generator interconnection rules, or focus on implementing Order 2023 while letting specific regions go further on their own, according to comments filed after a September technical conference.

President-elect Donald Trump intendeds to nominate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum as secretary of the interior and Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, as secretary of energy.

MISO expects to roll out a new flag system by June 2025 to give a stronger indication when generation owners are deviating from dispatch instructions.
