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.

AEP Ohio Default Supply Rate Projected to Rise $37 by June
OHEnergyRatings.com warns AEP Ohio will likely raise its Price to Compare (PTC) supply rates, potentially increasing average monthly bills by about $37 for typical customers by June.
- Main announcement: OHEnergyRatings.com says AEP Ohio may raise PTC rates on April 1 and a further increase tied to PJM capacity auction rules on June 1 could combine to raise average monthly bills by $37 (example: from current levels to ~14 cents/kWh). It notes AEP Ohio will change PTC rates three times between March 31 and July 4, with two of those likely increases.
- Background and specifics:Winter Storm Fern drove natural gas demand and prices higher (Henry Hub $9.03 per mmBTU on Jan 28, NYMEX Feb contract $7.460 per mmBTU; some regional hubs spiked > $40 per mmBTU). Historical April PTC changes averaged ~2%; a minimum 2% April hike would set AEP Ohio to 12.678 cents/kWh (an 850 kWh monthly user would pay ~$17 more). A prior June 1, 2025 capacity change added ~2.2 cents/kWh; a repeat-sized June increase could add ~$20 more, yielding the combined $37 figure. The analysis cites data center development and LNG exports as contributing to higher gas-driven generation demand.

Fossil generation could rise with faster-than-expected growth in data center power demand
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) published an analysis showing that faster-than-expected electricity demand growth driven by data centers could increase natural gas and coal generation and raise wholesale electricity prices.
- Main analysis and assumptions: The EIA produced a high demand growth scenario in which 2026 and 2027 growth rates are 50% higher than the February STEO in data-center-heavy regions, while other regions are +1 percentage point above STEO; the scenario assumes no additional generating capacity beyond the February STEO and applies an assumed +$0.50/MMBtu increase in natural gas delivered prices across regions.
- Key modeled outcomes and metrics: Under the scenario, natural gas generation rises to +7.3% (123 BkWh) between 2025–2027 (vs 1.7% baseline), coal generation declines by 5.0% (37 BkWh) nationwide in the high case, and ERCOT 2027 wholesale prices model +$37/MWh above the February STEO (excluding ERCOT the average 2027 wholesale price is +$2.10/MWh above the STEO forecast of $48/MWh).

Drivers wonder if they should go electric as the war spikes gas prices
The article reports that rising gasoline prices tied to the Iran war are increasing U.S. consumer interest in electric vehicles (EVs).
- Main finding: Rising gasoline prices (national average $3.57/gal, up from $2.94/gal a month earlier) and concerns about price volatility are driving greater consumer consideration of hybrids and EVs; Edmunds found electrified-vehicle research rose to 22.4% of vehicle research activity in the week starting March 2 (from 20.7% the prior week).
- Background and details:Residential electricity prices are generally regulated and less volatile (experts: Erich Muehlegger, Pierpaolo Cazzola); electricity costs can still rise (contributors include surging demand from new data centers and broader inflationary pressures noted by Holt Edwards). The article also cites average new EV price $55,300 vs average new vehicle $49,353 (Kelley Blue Book) and discusses supply-chain concerns tied to China.

General Assembly Budget Conferees Need to Invest in Quality of Life, Not Big Tech
The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) has called on Virginia lawmakers to eliminate or substantially limit the sales tax credit on data center equipment to redirect revenue to public services.
- Main action: PEC submitted a letter to General Assembly leadership and budget conferees requesting elimination or phased reduction of the sales tax exemption on data center equipment, arguing the exemption cost more than $1.9 billion in FY2025 and could have raised state revenue from $31.2 billion to $33.1 billion if collected. The letter identifies priorities for redirected revenue: water supply and wastewater treatment, transportation and transit, schools, childcare, and food security.
- Background and details: PEC cites Dominion Energy data that it is receiving requests for ~10 additional data center applications monthly totaling 2–3 GW, bringing cumulative demand to 70 GW, while current peak demand is 24 GW with >36% electricity imports. PEC estimates Dominion will need to invest over $100 billion in generation, transmission and substation infrastructure (including nearly $30 billion for transmission) to meet the backlog over the next ten years.
