Abeyance Request and Section 205 Filing: New England Large and Co-Located Loads Show Cause Order (EL26-72)
Source: ISO New England · Jul 16, 2026ISO New England says FERC opened a Section 206 proceeding and preliminarily found ISO-NE’s tariff “unjust, unreasonable, or unduly discriminatory or preferential due to a lack of large and co-located load integration provisions.” ISO-NE and the PTOs plan to seek a 90-day abeyance by August 3, 2026, which would let them file Section 205 tariff changes on November 16, 2026 to address FERC’s five reform categories, including cost transparency, co-location rules, flexible load service, and generation studies.

ISO-NE System Forecasting Public Webinar – 2026 CELT Overview
Source: ISO New England · Jun 24, 2026ISO New England’s June 24, 2026 public webinar on the 2026 CELT report says large loads, including data centers, are now part of its demand modeling: it added a “large loads forecast,” notes “Data Centers,” and says “Only a few projects in formal study (<300 MW).” ISO-NE also says the near-term impact is “Minimal” before 2027-2028, with a longer-term “~110–130 MW impact to peak demand by 2030s–2040s.”

Consumer Liaison Group Meeting Summary
Source: ISO New England · Jun 02, 2026ISO New England’s June 2, 2026 Consumer Liaison Group meeting summary says the 2026 CELT forecast now includes “new methodologies to forecast the growth in load driven by data centers,” while noting that “near-term impacts remain relatively modest” and that there is “uncertainty” about future projects (ISO New England). The summary also highlights large-load risks including “infrastructure constraints,” “timing mismatches between load growth and system upgrades,” and “increased reliance on pipeline infrastructure,” and says data-center costs should be borne “primarily by those facilities rather than existing ratepayers” (ISO New England).

IDCA CEO Calls for Global Consensus on Data Center Development
The International Data Center Authority has argued for a global consensus on how digital infrastructure is deployed to avoid slowing AI-era growth.
- The IDCA’s Global Energy Report says fragmented permitting, energy policy, and infrastructure planning could hinder development; Paryavi said “Without such consensus, the fragmented approach will put a halt to the progress of the digital world”.
- The report estimates 68 GW of global data center electricity use, 26.7 GW in the US, and says grid constraints are critical in at least 12 major markets; it also cites 13% of US data center electricity as idle “zombie” workloads and points to SMRs, hydrogen fuel cells, LNG, and BESS as bridging solutions.

Quantum Meets the Data Center: Hybrid Systems Take Off
The article explains a shift in quantum computing toward hybrid quantum-classical infrastructure and cites policy support, vendor roadmaps, and conference remarks rather than a single standalone company announcement.
- The U.S. Department of Commerce announced more than $2 billion in incentives in May 2026 to accelerate quantum commercialization, including quantum manufacturing and utility-scale, fault-tolerant systems; the White House followed with a June 2026 Executive Order on the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation.
- The piece also cites vendor and industry developments: IBM outlined quantum-centric supercomputing in March 2026; Nvidia launched NVQLink at GTC 2026; HPE said in June 2026 it is working with multiple partners on hybrid quantum configurations; and AMD said it is working with OQC and JPMorgan Chase on quantum, AI, and HPC workloads.
