    Forecasts for Reliability Planning Studies

    Source: NYISO · May 29, 2025

    NYISO’s May 29, 2025 “Forecasts for Reliability Planning Studies” says large loads are a meaningful component of future New York demand, with “Projected Large Load impacts from existing and future interconnection of Large Loads” included in the light-load forecast and “Large loads are assumed to contribute over 2,000 MW to the Light Load by 2035.” NYISO also says these reliability studies incorporate EV charging, building electrification, and BTM storage charging into future load shapes.

    Flexible Load Models – Large Loads

    Source: NYISO · Feb 24, 2026

    NYISO says it is developing policy and market-design changes for flexible large loads in New York, including “DER Modeling Improvements” and “Dynamic/Adaptable Participation Opportunities for Large Flexible Loads,” with a 2026 milestone of “Market Design Concept Proposed” and possible “Tariff revisions” next year (NYISO, Feb. 24, 2026). NYISO also says large-load growth is outpacing supply in New York and that interconnecting large loads without adequate new supply “contributes significantly to reliability risk,” while ISOs/RTOs are exploring faster interconnection approaches such as non-firm transmission service, co-location of load and generation, and DER participation options.

    October 2022 Update of Load Forecasting Manual: Large Load Interconnection Reporting and Forecasting

    Source: NYISO · Oct 21, 2022

    NYISO’s October 21, 2022 Load Forecasting Manual update says large-load interconnections can materially change district forecasts: “Changes in the timing of the construction and ramp-up period of Large Load Facilities that are Interconnecting on the system have the potential to significantly alter the load forecast within a Transmission District” (NYISO). It also adds new reporting rules, requiring that “Large Load Facility forecast reports shall include the project status and forecasted load impacts” and that, after an SIS, the Connecting and Affected TOs submit reports quarterly or when forecasts change. NYISO further says “The sum of projected load changes reported for Large Load Facilities will be added to each TOs forecasted peak value as applicable.”

    Large Load Facility Discussion: Data Submission Requirements and Forecasting Method

    Source: NYISO · Aug 26, 2022

    NYISO’s Aug. 26, 2022 Load Forecasting Task Force presentation proposes changes to how large loads are counted in peak forecasting: the definition of Large Load Facilities would be expanded for ICAP forecasting to include 40 MW or more below 115 kV in a Large Transmission District and 20 MW or more below 115 kV in a Small Transmission District, while the current interconnection threshold remains “Greater than 10 MW” at 115 kV or above or “80 MW or more” below 115 kV. NYISO also says “The sum of the forecasted large loads will be computed for each Transmission District and added to its ICAP Market Forecast” and that “The Transmission District Regional Load Growth Factor (RLGF) will not be applied to load changes from the Large Load Facilities.”

    Transmission Expansion and Interconnection Manual

    Source: New York Independent System Operator

    NYISO’s 2019 Transmission Expansion and Interconnection Manual explains that the NYISO OATT covers interconnection of new and modified generation, transmission, and load facilities in New York, and that the process includes queue assignment for study requests and interconnection requests. NYISO states that it “adds the request to its list of Interconnection Requests and Transmission Projects (also known as the ‘NYISO Interconnection Queue’) with a queue position based on the date of receipt,” and that new LFIRs and TIAs are also assigned queue position based on receipt. The manual is policy guidance rather than a project-specific filing.

Recent New York data center news

  • The 50 States of Power Decarbonization: States Pull Back on Clean Energy Commitments While Governors Step In to Address Large Load Additions in Q2 2026

    The NC Clean Energy Technology Center has released its Q2 2026 edition of the 50 States of Power Decarbonization, summarizing state and utility actions on clean energy, emissions targets, large load customers, and resource planning.

    • The report says all 50 states and Puerto Rico took 564 actions in Q2 2026, with about 650 introduced bills also under consideration; planned capacity additions in recent IRPs totaled 77,810 MW gas, 72,193 MW solar, 43,017 MW storage, 12,615 MW nuclear, and 12,327 MW wind.
    • It highlights policy trends including pullbacks on clean energy policies, governor actions on large load customers, and requirements that large load customers contribute to programs such as low-income support and energy efficiency; top developments included New York delaying an emissions target, Georgia Power‘s BYONCE program, and Pennsylvania adopting a statewide model large load tariff.
  • Do We Really Need Mega Next-Gen Data Center Campuses?

    The article explains why hyperscale data center campuses are becoming larger and more complex, offering analysis rather than announcing a new project.

    • It cites Meta’s 3,650-acre Hyperion campus in Richland Parish, Louisiana and mentions a floated 40,000-acre Utah site for Kevin O’Leary’s Stratos concept, later reduced to 20,000 acres.
    • Industry experts from JLL, Omdia, and Dell’Oro Group discuss multi-building campuses, 10-50 MW AI clusters, power and water planning, and the use of on-site generation, dedicated substations, and air-cooled chillers in cooler climates.
  • Patented: Solenic Medical’s Implant-Infection Device and 120 More Inventions Across North Texas

    Solenic Medical has announced progress toward a pivotal clinical trial for its SOLA-2 alternating magnetic field system after receiving FDA Investigational Device Exemption approval.

    • The company said the FDA approved its Investigational Device Exemption on June 23, 2026, clearing it to begin a pivotal trial for patients with periprosthetic joint infections and infected knee replacements.
    • The trial is expected to enroll patients in the second half of 2026 at national orthopedic and academic centers; Solenic estimates global healthcare costs from these infections at more than $6 billion a year, potentially rising above $15 billion by 2035.
  • Essential Summer Reads #1: How Juisci Is Using AI to Save Doctors 8 Hours a Week and Fight Medical Misinformation

    • Reuters reported that the FCC is working on a measure to bar imports of new Chinese optical transceivers and may publish and implement it this year.
    • Analysts said the likely effect would be panic buying, tighter supply chains, and increased scrutiny of non-Chinese components that may still contain Chinese parts.
    • The piece is a news analysis/commentary article based on unnamed sources and expert interviews, not a company press release.
    • It also discusses possible follow-on restrictions on switches, SmartNICs, DPUs, BMCs, storage controllers, and cooling/power management components.

  • How ICE and a data center turned a small Pittsburgh suburb into a civic battleground

    Public Source published a reported feature on Springdale’s split over a planned data center and ICE cooperation, describing ongoing community backlash and local government responses.

    • The article says Springdale approved a hyperscale data center plan in December and that the 50-acre Cheswick Generating Station site was bought in November by Dynamo DC; the company says the 652,300-square-foot facility would bring 80 to 100 permanent jobs and millions in annual tax dollars.
    • It also reports that Springdale police have operated under a 287(g) ICE task force agreement since November, leading to several arrests, protests, and disputes over transparency, public comment rules, and policing outside borough limits.
  • Data center energy constraints and moratoriums are mounting. Expect to see stalled AI projects

    New York has announced a one-year statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data center construction.

    • Governor Kathy Hochul said the order is meant to address utility bills, resource depletion, and uncertainty for New Yorkers, while the state studies data center energy demand and considers requiring operators to pay more for power or supply their own.
    • The article also cites broader sector pressures, including 127 other U.S. jurisdictions with similar moratoriums, at least 75 blocked or delayed projects worth about $130 billion in Q1 2026, and growing concerns over grid capacity, transmission bottlenecks, and AI workload demand.
