President Donald Trump’s policies and the growth in demand from data centers and other new customers have changed the trajectory of the power system, speakers said at the Energy Future Forum.

BOEM lifted a stop-work order on the Empire Wind 1 project in a deal that will have New York work on expanding pipelines into the Northeast, a goal the White House has publicly sought since shortly after President Trump took office.

CAISO selected Viridon, a power infrastructure development firm, to finance, build and operate new transmission lines and infrastructure in Humboldt County for planned offshore wind development.

Efforts by U.S. House committees to mark up the “One, Big Beautiful Bill” that includes most of President Donald Trump’s legislative goals could so complicate energy tax credit provisions as to make those instruments difficult to use at all.

NYISO is modeling the Empire Wind offshore wind project as in-service despite federal orders to cease construction, staff said in presenting updated assumptions for the second-quarter Short Term Assessment of Reliability.

A group of 18 Democratic state attorneys general filed suit against President Donald Trump’s executive order that halted wind energy projects’ federal approvals.

Dominion Energy reported that Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind has already seen slight cost impacts from President Trump's tariffs, which could grow as the project is still on track for completion in 2026.

NYISO said it is no longer concerned about a violation of reliability criteria in New York City in 2033 and has canceled its search for a solution.
