Very proud of our new report. Laying out a vision for how the West can stitch together our abundant energy resources and diverse demands to help meet our nation's challenges. It's a new, uniquely Western answer to energy markets: bythewest.org
Today, the West is channeling the same cooperative ambition that built big projects, such as the Union Pacific railroad, Columbia River dams, & Pacific Transmission Intertie, by building a regionwide energy market platform—the Regional Organization for Western Energy.

Because PJM uses an outdated interconnection process it take forever to get approval. Bottlenecked supply: Only 3 GW of new generation was added in 2022 and 5 GW in 2023 — nowhere near enough to meet new demand from data centers.
