MISO is considering a new type of interconnection agreement for generation built on site and strictly for new large loads.

FERC focused on large loads and clearing out older proceedings during its September meeting, with two of three current members saying they hoped to move a pending proceeding on co-located loads in the near future.

Talen and Amazon Web have entered into a PPA for the Susquehanna nuclear generator to supply 1.9 GW to the tech company.

Stakeholders urged FERC to consider reliability and consumer costs when weighing approaches to co-located large loads.

Attendees at the Electric Power Supply Association’s Competitive Power Summit discussed how markets are responding to rapid demand growth.

A data center campus planned in western Pennsylvania would include up to 4.5 GW of on-site gas-fired generation and be the largest facility of its kind in the U.S., a group of developers announced.

In comments on a FERC investigation, PJM said there are several pathways to bolster the ability for large consumers to benefit from co-locating with generators.

Even if demand forecasts from new data centers are twice as large as what ends up being built, the growth is going to be at a scale where the power industry’s regulations need to change to keep up with it, former FERC Commissioner Allison Clements said.
