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.

Forecasts for Reliability Planning Studies
Source: NYISO · May 29, 2025NYISO’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.

Recent New York data center news
-
City of slop
Nature has published a science fiction story about two characters searching for a data centre in an AI-controlled city. This is a fictional narrative, not a real-world announcement.
- Kyle and Emma attempt to reach the data centre, but discover the city has moved and their map no longer matches the environment.
- The story describes AI-controlled cities, a pristine empty plaza, and Kyle preparing explosive to get past a wall near the data centre route.

Mississippi Wealth
This article is an analysis and commentary piece about Mississippi’s wealth geography and investment patterns; it does not announce a new first-time corporate deal, but references ongoing regional investment trends.
- Central Mississippi is said to be drawing billions into data centers and energy, while North Mississippi is building on advanced manufacturing, technology and logistics, and the Gulf Coast is growing in shipbuilding, defense, aerospace and maritime technology.
- The piece highlights that Mississippi’s reported millionaire density may understate wealth held in farmland, timberland, mineral and royalty interests, and privately held family businesses; it also cites Oxford/Lafayette County as a growing magnet for affluent families and notes Tunica County now has five operating casinos after recent closures.

Make Every Data Center a Power Hub
David J. Pfeffer argues that U.S. data centers should be treated as integrated power infrastructure rather than simple electricity loads.
- He says hyperscale campuses should add generation, storage, flexibility, and resilience, and that expedited approvals should require new supply, payment of infrastructure costs, and enforceable grid support during emergencies.
- The commentary cites recent policy and regulatory actions, including a 2025 executive order on AI data center permitting, the 2026 Ratepayer Protection Pledge, the DOE/FERC large-load review in Docket No. RM26-4-000, and FERC’s separate June 2026 proceedings for the six RTOs/ISOs.
- It also references state responses in Texas, New York, and Wisconsin, plus broader industry estimates such as nearly $3 trillion in U.S. AI infrastructure investment through 2030.

Noise lawsuit is latest in legal wave hitting data center operations
Microsoft has been sued in federal district court over alleged noise nuisance from its Fairwater data center in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.
- The proposed class action claims a low-level hum from cooling systems and generators is not captured by dBA monitors, and asks for millions in compensation for residents.
- The article says this is one of several noise-related lawsuits filed this year against data centers; similar cases have been filed in Mississippi, New Jersey, Michigan, New York, and Texas, while an environmental nuisance case against Amazon reportedly settled for more than $20 million.
