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.

AI data centers strain power grids, but AI tech could boost grid reliability and demand management
KYRO AI has released a report arguing that AI data centre growth is increasing pressure on power grids, while AI tools can also help utilities improve reliability.
- The report says US data centres used 4% of US electricity two years ago and could use three times that by 2028; it cites utilities using AI-enabled drones, vehicles and imagery in New York and generative AI in California.
- It also says utilities have invested more than USD 1 trillion in the grid over the last decade and USD 178 billion in the last year alone; in India, installed data centre capacity has risen from 375 MW in 2020 to about 1,575 MW currently, and peak electricity demand hit 270.8 GW in May.

Bloomberg NEF: Texas grid pause puts 20 percent of US data center pipeline at risk
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has directed a comprehensive audit of all data center projects advancing through ERCOT’s interconnection process, following a pause on new data center grid interconnections. - The audit instructs the PUCT and ERCOT to assess whether data centers pay their own way, provide their own power or rely on the grid, bring their own water or reuse water, mitigate impacts on neighbors, and disclose ownership and controlling interests. - Bloomberg NEF says the pause could affect about 49.8 GW of projects, with potential financial impact of upwards of $8 billion by Q1 2027; ERCOT has more than 470 GW of interconnection requests, about 90% tied to data center load, and expects 8.25 GW of new data center capacity online by 2030. This article is commentary/analysis referencing Abbott’s earlier-month directive and related policy developments, not a first-time primary announcement from the named entities.
