🚨 NEW REPORT:
A major FERC rulemaking on large load interconnection is likely imminent, and anyone who wants to understand its potential should read @nichinstitute.bsky.social new brief by @mfarmer.bsky.social @allisonclements.bsky.social @azevin.bsky.social @smaczni.bsky.social et al. 🔌💡

I have a @nytimes.com op-ed today on managing power demand growth. Central point: load growth is an opportunity to *offset* upward rate pressure (and avoid gas overbuild), if we plan the system to make fuller use of infrastructure we’ve already paid for. 🔌💡 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o...

“It is one of the few tools that can be deployed at scale over the next few years to eliminate rate increases across the country,” said @jigarshahdc.bsky.social 🔌💡 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

New from @severinborenstein.bsky.social: "The key to making new data center demand a benefit to other customers is to create incentives for these new loads to restrain their peak demand and to avoid discount pricing so the new loads significantly contribute to covering system fixed costs." 🔌💡

Governors of PA, NJ, MD, and IL call on PJM to streamline energy resource interconnection service (ERIS) and connect-and-manage options to accelerate generator interconnection (source: comments on PJM CFIP large loads proposal, pg 37 www.pjm.com/-/media/DotC... )
September 6, 2025 at 3:37 PM
Coverage of PJM’s non-firm service proposal for large loads has missed the mark, casting stakeholder pushback as “opposition” to demand response, when the primary objections are to PJM’s mandatory approach. I count at least 17 stakeholders expressing interest in modernized demand response.

In a new interview, Iron Mountain Data Centers says it’s deploying battery storage at 100% nameplate capacity of its New Jersey data center “so we can totally shed the load of the data center.” “We’re going to see a lot more of this.” #greensky #energysky 🔌💡 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

This is why this statement today from a state commissioner in the NYT should be taken seriously — yes, the admin’s efforts to stop or materially delay these projects increases reliability risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/c...

Offshore wind has higher capacity value than gas CTs, according to PJM. So when the Trump admin claims offshore wind makes no contribution to resource adequacy/reliability, it's lying. #energysky #greensky www.pjm.com/-/media/DotC...
