MISO will study 6 GW of mostly natural gas-fired generation projects in the second group of entrants under its interconnection queue fast track.

The Independent Market Monitor filed a complaint asking FERC to determine that PJM has the authority to hold off on large load interconnections if they would jeopardize transmission security or resource adequacy.

FERC approved a transmission security agreement between PECO Energy and Amazon for a data center planned in Falls Township, Pa.

Many comments on the Department of Energy’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to FERC on large load interconnections warned against going too far into jurisdictional issues.

The PJM Members Committee voted against each of the dozen proposals brought to address rising data center load as part of the RTO’s Critical Issue Fast Path process.

There's a clear parallel between what FERC did to speed the building of new generation at the turn of the millennium and what DOE wants to do today to accelerate the growth of critical data infrastructure, says former FERC Chair Pat Wood III.

DOE awarded Constellation a $1 billion loan for its Crane Clean Energy Center project, which will cut financing costs for the nuclear unit restart.

PJM stakeholders are to vote on a record-breaking number of proposals on how the RTO should integrate large loads without impacting resource adequacy.

State regulators say the push to give FERC jurisdiction over large load interconnections could leave the agency biting off more than it can chew around complex state-run processes, while failing to accomplish the intended goal of speeding approvals of hyperscale data centers.

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners passed a resolution urging FERC to resist the Department of Energy’s push to give itself jurisdiction over large loads interconnecting with the grid.
