2025-2044 Outlook Explores Pathways to a Reliable, Cleaner Grid
Source: NYISO · Aug 07, 2026NYISO’s August 7, 2026 “2025-2044 Outlook Explores Pathways to a Reliable, Cleaner Grid” says New York demand is expected to rise over the next two decades, driven by “electrification policies and the emergence of new large loads,” and that “Transmission capability increasingly determines whether new resources can serve load.” NYISO also says the grid will need more transfer capability, including to “Increase transfer capability across the Central East transmission interface” and “Support zero-emissions generation development in Northern New York with bulk transmission upgrades to enable energy deliverability from this region.”

Large Load Facility Discussion: Data Submission Requirements and Forecasting Method
Source: NYISO · Aug 26, 2022NYISO’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.”

October 2022 Update of Load Forecasting Manual: Large Load Interconnection Reporting and Forecasting
Source: NYISO · Oct 21, 2022NYISO’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.”

Transmission Expansion and Interconnection Manual
Source: New York Independent System OperatorNYISO’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.

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.
