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.

How ICE and a data center turned a small Pittsburgh suburb into a civic battleground
Public Source published a reported feature on Springdale’s split over a planned data center and ICE cooperation, describing ongoing community backlash and local government responses.
- The article says Springdale approved a hyperscale data center plan in December and that the 50-acre Cheswick Generating Station site was bought in November by Dynamo DC; the company says the 652,300-square-foot facility would bring 80 to 100 permanent jobs and millions in annual tax dollars.
- It also reports that Springdale police have operated under a 287(g) ICE task force agreement since November, leading to several arrests, protests, and disputes over transparency, public comment rules, and policing outside borough limits.

Data center energy constraints and moratoriums are mounting. Expect to see stalled AI projects
New York has announced a one-year statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data center construction.
- Governor Kathy Hochul said the order is meant to address utility bills, resource depletion, and uncertainty for New Yorkers, while the state studies data center energy demand and considers requiring operators to pay more for power or supply their own.
- The article also cites broader sector pressures, including 127 other U.S. jurisdictions with similar moratoriums, at least 75 blocked or delayed projects worth about $130 billion in Q1 2026, and growing concerns over grid capacity, transmission bottlenecks, and AI workload demand.
