Definitely interest in coordinating with our Northern neighbors as well, as evidenced by the recent Premiers/Governors meeting.

...that reduce costs & improve reliability across the northeast region. Candidate projects can be at any level of maturity, so long as they contribute to interregional transmission. Responses due Oct. 23, 2025.

Also - here's a link to the Fellow/Post-Doc posting that doesn't require a log in: energyinstitute.jhu.edu/rosei-hiring... #energysky

The selected fellow will work with me (Abe Silverman) in supporting multi-state convenings including the Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission & more! We’ll work on lots of cool stuff – including: #energysky

Please join us on Tuesday, April 29 at 10 am for a discussion the Strategic Action Plan with leader state policymakers. Registration here: wse.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #energysky #energysky #hopkinsenergy

2. issuance of a Request for Info to identify "low hanging fruit" projects suitable for development;

3. Develop a strawman cost allocation framework; and

4. Establish HVDC design standards & explore "buying pool concept" to support purchases of necessary equipment.

Among others! #energysky

Interregional transmission saves money and improves reliability, but has been hampered by today's transmission planning processes. Key recommendations from today's Strategic Action Plan include:

1. better planning to identify "low-regrets" interregional transmission projects;

I wonder when/if we'll hear from business leaders on this. Imagine a new billion $ pipeline. It'll be half done in 2029. Does this mean that the next president simply reverses everything? How do you invest in American infrastructure? This is a tough genie to put back in the bottle.

Energy regulation is boring by design. Investment requires certainty and predictability & the boring part is a fundamental design feature, not a bug. There's some spicy stuff at the edges. But 90% of everything is BORING. More uncertainty = bad for business = bad for consumers, Red & Blue.

My sense it was opex on the DeepSeek side, but I wouldn't trust the article to know the difference!

Wonder if we'd get a different response if we posted this over on Twitter! 😂

WSJ quoted DeepSeek as saying their average training run costs $5.6 million, compared to public reports of $100 million-plus from the big U.S. players. Increasing energy efficiency of AI has long be viewed as a major load growth uncertainty. It bigly affects load growth forecasts.

Agreed! In the spirit of a new year, my hope is that transmission will go bipartisan. The economic development story has bipartisan appeal & many of the extreme load growth states are Red States. This changes tx from a Blue State issue to a national issue requiring national solutions. We'll see!

PJM has already responded in a press release issued on New Year's Eve, citing to its repeated warnings over reliability and potential shortages of energy and defending its actions. Should be interesting! 🔥#energysky
