As a little known company has proposed a data center and natural gas plant in Tucker County — known for its natural wonder and outdoor recreation — residents are left with questions, mounting concerns and few answers.

AI’s data center boom poses unprecedented demands on the grid—but utility leaders say smart planning and targeted investments can keep the lights on for everyone.

California utility PG&E predicts new data centers will need about 8.7 gigawatts of electricity over the next 10 years.

CAISO has approved 31 infrastructure projects to help meet increasing load growth and changing grid conditions.

Regional grid operator MISO gave Louisiana utilities short notice to cut off power to maintain the reliability of the bulk system.

U.S. consumer demand for renewable energy continues to grow, with more solar panel capacity installed in 2024 than in 2023, which saw more than in 2022.

Many farmers who spent big on solar are finally getting reimbursed. But another climate program for agriculture is headed for the morgue.

The Sabre EcoTec non-SF6 ring main unit (RMU) uses synthetic air instead of the SF6 greenhouse gas, which is currently used to insulate critical electrical network equipment.

The proposal is meant to help the state better manage its electric supply during times of high demand. Critics say the oversight would discourage some companies from doing business in Texas.

Late last month — with considerable fanfare — nine northeastern states, including Connecticut, announced they were embarking on a groundbreaking interregional electric grid transmission effort.
