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.

Dominion Energy updated analysts on its efforts to complete a major offshore wind project and to meet rising demand from data centers on its fourth-quarter earnings call.

MISO is confident in its ability to meet spring demand, as the grid operator said it will be able to deliver on both its coincident and non-coincident peak forecasts through May.

ERCOT says the critical path for a successful Batch Zero NPRR relies on a series of approval votes in May before the changes go to the board in June.

PJM, with prompting from 13 governors, is trying another solution to resource adequacy: the “Reliability Backstop Auction.” While details still are being negotiated, this boils down to throwing money at new power plants, says Tom Rutigliano of the NRDC.

The annual status report from the Business Council for Sustainable Energy finds sustainable energy met rising U.S. power demands in 2025 despite the far-reaching policy shifts roiling the sector.

MISO said lackluster generating unit performance led to an emergency declaration during the late January winter storm.

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.
