Dominion revised its near term forecast down as bottlenecks limit new builds. AEP also has a more gradual curve and a major drop in its 2030 forecast, which may be a result of new tariffs that require large loads to pre pay for electric demand

COMED, home to a high share of wind and nuclear power, has seen a rapid increase in expected load growth by the end of the decade. In Dayton Power & Light, a combination of new data center load is expected to spike load levels in 2030.

PJM’s long-term load forecast saw values rise once again in 2026, but the new forecast is outpaced by 2025’s until the 2030s in both the summer and winter 🔌💡

Similar to nearby New England, NYISO’s heating is dominated by oil and natural gas . While pipeline limitations are not as big of a concern as in ISO-NE, extended cold snaps and high demand in zones J and K can drive up spot pricing.
December 19, 2025 at 2:43 PM
The vast majority of heating in ISO-NE is fossil, split between heating oil and natural gas . The reliance on natural gas, particularly in densely populated areas in Eastern MA, along the Connecticut River, and in the NYC suburbs, place added strain on pipeline supply during cold weather events.

With winter in full swing, households across the country have dialed their thermostats up, but the fuels and technologies keeping homes warm vary widely by region.

This is mostly driven by climate, historical prices, and year of industrialization/electrification 🔌💡

New England and New York have new ties with Québec coming online over the next 6 months, but is the power there to support them? 🔌💡

Earlier this year we noticed that flows into the US, and particularly New York, had dropped off, years before the threat of tariffs
