    Commissioner Chang’s concurrence – New York Independent System Operator, Inc.

    Source: FERC

    FERC says in these orders that it has initiated FPA section 206 proceedings to examine large-load growth and possible tariff reforms that could change how loads “procure, use, and pay for transmission service.” It also says it is launching an inquiry into cost shifting, including possible requirements to publish information on new large loads, upgrades, and costs, and to adopt a pro forma cost recovery agreement. FERC further says tariffs lack clear provisions for evaluating alternative transmission technologies, and that the Commission preliminarily would extend PJM co-location transmission services such as “Interim NITS, Firm Contract Demand, and Non-Firm Contract Demand” to new loads and regions.

Recent New York data center news

  • Lightpath to provide fiber infrastructure for two new hyperscale data center campuses

    Lightpath has announced it will provide fiber infrastructure and multi-terabit capacity to support two hyperscale data center campuses under construction in the United States.

    • The two campuses are planned to exceed one gigawatt each and are located in Saline, Michigan and Port Washington, Wisconsin.
    • The Saline build is scheduled for delivery by the end of this year, while Port Washington is expected in Q2 2027; both are being delivered with an anchor hyperscale customer that was not named.
    • Chris Morley said Lightpath is partnering with hyperscalers to build new fiber infrastructure for AI-driven demand; Tim Haverkate said the company will deliver route-diverse, multi-terabit capacity across new construction, existing network assets, and partner fiber.
  • TeraWulf seeks $3.5bn in funding for construction of data center for Anthropic

    TeraWulf has announced plans to raise around $3.5 billion in debt financing for its data center campus in Kentucky, with the facility expected to be leased by Anthropic.

    • Morgan Stanley is expected to lead the financing, and the package will likely also include high-yield bonds.
    • The fundraising follows Anthropic’s reported 20-year deal for the Justified Data campus in Hawesville, Kentucky, with a total estimated value of $19 billion; TeraWulf also said it sold its 50.1% stake in the Abernathy Joint Venture with Fluidstack and previously secured a $250 million revolving credit line.
  • Fed minutes: Officials deeply divided over future path of U.S. inflation

    The Federal Reserve has released minutes showing officials are divided over the future path of inflation and interest rates.

    • Many participants said the policy rate would be unchanged from or slightly below 3.6% by year-end, while many others thought it would be higher; a few officials saw “a case for raising” rates at the June 16-17 meeting, but the committee voted unanimously to keep rates unchanged.
    • Officials linked inflation risk to the Iran war, fading tariff effects, and especially AI infrastructure demand, which they said could raise prices for semiconductors, computer equipment, and electricity; the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said 1-year inflation expectations rose to 3.7% and 3-year expectations to 3.3%.
  • Capstone Energy+ touts air-bearing microturbines for behind-the-meter energy

    Capstone Energy+ CEO Vince Canino says facility managers are increasingly turning to behind-the-meter energy strategies as grid constraints grow.

    • Canino said the trend is being driven by utility capacity constraints, especially for data centers, EV charging, and building electrification; Capstone’s air-bearing microturbines are positioned as quiet, low-emissions on-site power.
    • He cited deployments including an auto shredder recycling plant in Los Angeles that planned to build its own plant because the utility could not deliver power for 3-4 years, and a Riu Hotel in New York City roof installation with six C65 units providing electricity and hot water.
    • Capstone offers 30 kW, 65 kW, and 200 kW engines, with options to lease, purchase, lease-to-own, power purchase agreements, or energy service agreements; the company completed a financial restructuring in 2023 and resumed trading on Nasdaq on July 8 after a three-year hiatus.
  • Ares invests in Sabey Data Centers

    Sabey Corporation and National Real Estate Advisors have announced that Ares Management Corporation’s Secondaries funds have made a minority equity investment in Sabey Data Center Properties (SDCP).

    • No transaction terms were disclosed; Ares’ capital is intended to support future expansion across Sabey’s existing campuses and new opportunities in key data center markets.
    • SDCP operates 251MW across about 4 million sq ft and could triple capacity by 2036 on existing landholdings, according to its owners; the announcement also notes Sabey sites in Quincy, Seattle, East Wenatchee, New York City, Austin, Umatilla, Indianapolis, and Ashburn.
    • The announcement quotes Tim Mirick (SDCP president) and Jeffrey Kanne (National Real Estate Advisors president and CEO); Evercore and Citizens Capital Markets & Advisory advised SDCP on the transaction.

  • NYDIG looks to expand data center at Massena site, New York

    NYDIG, through its affiliate North Country Colocation Services, has begun the local planning review process for a proposed data center expansion at the former Reynolds industrial site in Massena, New York.

    • The Massena Town Planning Board agenda for June 26 included a presubmission for NYDIG and discussion of consultants and the lead agency for environmental review.
    • NCCS said the revised project would add two new data halls on about 355 developable acres beside its existing 110-acre site, use existing approved hydroelectric power, and phase out existing Bitcoin mining; it also said construction would take about two years with 1,800 to 2,500 peak workers and about 200 permanent full-time positions.
    • The company said it redesigned the proposal after community feedback, reducing the footprint by about 400,000 sq ft and cutting planned backup generators by about 61% from 316 to 124; local residents and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne have raised concerns about proximity, energy and water demand, and consultation.
  • Manure-to-energy projects eye data centres as new market, raising environmental concerns

    The article explains that manure-based biogas is being used and promoted as a renewable energy source for data centres and cryptocurrency mining, while critics warn it may reinforce factory-farm expansion.

    • Ag-Grid Energy operates a project at Lent Hill Dairy Farm in Steuben County, New York, where two anaerobic co-digesters convert manure from around 4,000 cows and more than 45,000 gallons of food waste per day into renewable natural gas (RNG) used to power an on-site cryptocurrency mining facility.
    • The company says it also plans to support small-scale data centres in rural areas with on-site power generation and fibre-optic connectivity; the article adds that Vanguard Renewables operates or develops more than 50 co-digesters in the US and aims for more than 100 by end-2028, while biogas projects have received over $150 million from the Inflation Reduction Act and more than $100 million in private bonds approved by the Michigan Strategic Fund.
  • Anthropic signs $19bn, 20-year lease for Kentucky data center with TeraWulf

    TeraWulf has announced a long-term lease with Anthropic for its Justified Data campus in Hawesville, Kentucky, and separately said it is selling its 50.1% ownership interest in the Abernathy Joint Venture.

    • Anthropic lease: the agreement runs for 20 years and is expected to generate about $19 billion in revenue for TeraWulf; the campus is planned for up to 401MW of IT capacity, with initial capacity in the second half of 2027 and full operations by early 2028.
    • Abernathy JV sale: TeraWulf said it is divesting its entire 50.1% ownership in the JV with Fluidstack in Abernathy, Texas; the JV was formed in October 2025 for a 168MW data center on a 120-acre campus, and TeraWulf said the deal helps it realize value from its $450m investment.
