Source: New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) · Jul 23, 2026NYISO says New York will need substantial new investment in generation and transmission to serve rising demand, noting that “demand growth is outpacing resource additions” and that “emerging large loads” are increasing electricity needs and reshaping when and where demand occurs. The NYISO also highlights grid constraints and buildout priorities, including the need to “reduce congestion and increase transfer capability across the Central East interface” and support “bulk transmission upgrades” in Northern New York (NYISO, July 23, 2026).

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

Why Europe doesn’t need another Silicon Valley to succeed
This article is an opinion and analysis piece about where European AI startups should build and scale, rather than a first-time announcement.
- It argues that European founders should choose between building from Europe, moving closer to the US market, or doing both, depending on where their product needs customers, capital, talent, and compute.
- It highlights constraints in Europe such as data-centre permitting, energy costs, fragmented capital markets, and hiring frictions, while saying Europe has advantages in industrial software, defence and security tech, and applied AI for regulated or workflow-heavy sectors.
- The piece says the first 18 to 24 months in the US are mostly about learning the market, and that European companies should not expect US-style valuation multiples without meaningful American revenue.

Where Pennsylvania stands with regulating data centers
The article is an interview and commentary on Pennsylvania’s response to proposed data center growth, including legislation, zoning, tax policy, and energy-use oversight.
- House Bill 2496 would let municipalities declare a temporary 180-day moratorium on new data center applications, with the pause reaching back to when officials announced intent to pursue a moratorium.
- Shapiro’s GRID standards would condition the 6% sales tax exemption for computer equipment on state certification, require 32% clean energy use by 2035, and include $250 million in new investment; the budget’s fiscal code also adds oversight of PJM Interconnection demand forecasts, annual energy and water reporting, and review of advanced transmission technologies before new lines are built.
