Not surprisingly, state regulators quickly made their concerns known about DOE's request for a new FERC rulemaking proceeding in order to “ensure efficient, timely and non-discriminatory load interconnections” for large loads, says columnist Peter Kelly-Detwiler.

Grid operators and utilities have a double exposure to the increasingly fire-prone environment: grid assets can cause fires and be damaged by them, says columnist Dej Knuckey.

Industrial electrification can help ease grid pressures when it is designed and meaningfully incentivized for flexibility, says Cihang Yuan, an energy officer for the World Wildlife Fund.

For the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to succeed, an honest, thorough accounting of the Marissa Gillett era is required, says Bryson Hull.

Renewable energy and associated clean technologies – like electric vehicles and heat pumps -- are two to four times more efficient than fossil fuels for generating electricity, says columnist K Kaufmann.

Data center-fueled demand growth continues to soar while reserve margins continue to shrink. Meanwhile, the timelines for building load versus building generation and transmission are wildly out of sync.

The infrastructure that supports our ability to generate and move critically needed electrons relies heavily on a regulatory environment that offers some consistent level of predictability, says columnist Peter Kelly-Detwiler.
