The key with electricity market restructuring is that it forces investors to hold onto the risk of bad load growth forecasts rather than ratepayers.
Load growth projections are as uncertain as ever and that makes saddling ratepayers with the risk and cost of guessing wrong a terrible idea.

What makes Google's data center flex announcement today so notable, IMO: 🔌💡
1) 1st known utility contracts on AI DC flexibility
2) 1st incorporation into utility planning
3) 1st use of ML workloads for flexibility
4) Definitive, long-term contracts
5) Flex applies during certain hrs/times of year

Looks like there's a good chance New England ends up importing lots of offshore wind from Canada rather than building it ourselves.
“By becoming an energy exporter, we can secure long-term prosperity for Nova Scotians.”
The time to think about transmission development, resource adequacy, reliability, resilience and energy security across the entire Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) footprint is now.
