NYISO says 100% emissions-free grid would require major buildout and higher costs; large-load demand reaches 2,567 MW by 2035
Source: NYISO · Oct 19, 2026NYISO said its planning materials include about 2,567 megawatts of new large-load demand by 2035 in the baseline, with higher-demand scenarios exceeding 4,000 megawatts, and noted that “New manufacturing facilities such as Micron’s planned semiconductor campus in Clay, NY, are part of that outlook.” NYISO also argued that a 100% emissions-free grid would require major new construction and far higher costs, including “approximately 30 gigawatts of front-of-the-meter solar, 14.9 gigawatts of land-based wind, 4.6 gigawatts of offshore wind, and 6.3 gigawatts of energy storage” in one 2035 high-demand scenario.

Energy management company touts revenue available to buildings with excess energy capacity
Arcadia is describing a distributed AI hosting program that lets facilities with excess power capacity host on-site edge computing modules in exchange for rental fees.
- Christopher Turner, senior vice president of business development and policy at Arcadia, said the company began working with facilities earlier this year to assess energy use versus local utility capacity and identify sites with headroom, fiber connectivity, and other infrastructure needed to host modules.
- The modules contain GPUs and can be deployed in mini-split-sized units using about 20 kW or shipping-container-sized units using about 1 MW; Arcadia reimburses electricity at the local utility’s prevailing rate and adds rental fees, with early adopters including an under-leased office building and a site with EV charging infrastructure.

The hidden opportunity in the next $2 trillion of US–Latin America trade
McKinsey has published a research report analyzing the US–Latin America trade corridor and proposing an integrated ecosystem to scale Latino-owned businesses and corridor value creation.
- The report estimates that systematically addressing barriers could add $170 billion to $295 billion in incremental trade over the next ten years, expanding corridor growth by 18 percent and creating up to $2 trillion in cumulative added trade over the next decade.
- It argues for five levers: capital, market access, institutional coordination, commercialization, and ownership/reinvestment; examples cited include Nopalera, Quirch Foods, Félix Pago, Source Logistics, and Laredo as corridor-linked businesses and hubs.
