Data centers are being built where land, fiber and tax breaks are, not where the power plants are. Moving that power takes new capacity, new high-voltage lines and new substations. This report follows the money from the PJM capacity auction to the Dominion transmission rider, the MISO, SPP and ERCOT long-range plans, the FERC rules […]

Britain has spent years accelerating wind and solar deployment under Clean Power 2030 and net-zero targets. The generation numbers look impressive on paper. The grid, however, was not built for them, and the mismatch is now producing record costs, regular curtailment of green power, emergency interventions, and growing questions about reliability. Felicity Bradstock’s October 25, […]

Virginia’s new Energy Plan promises to protect family budgets but never shows a household bill. It models 10,000 MW of import capacity, while PJM lists 5,992 MW; prices solar 41% below Dominion’s own filing; and leaves about $40.6 billion of Dominion spending outside the proposed rate freeze. Here are the six biggest holes. The full […]

Gov. Abigail Spanberger ran on lowering energy costs. Her Oct. 19 merger testimony asks for a base-rate freeze and bigger bill credits, plus a zero-carbon data center subsidiary, heat pump and EV rate If you are a Dominion Energy customer, the “typical” bill for 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month was $149.92 in July 2025. On July […]

The summer of 2026 tested the U.S. electric grid with record heat and rising demand. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Hourly Electric Grid Monitor (based on Form EIA-930 data), three major regional transmission organizations (RTOs) set new peak hourly load records.Eia PJM (serving roughly 65–67 million people across all or parts of 13 […]

Chinese-headquartered companies have delivered more than 70 GW of inverters to America’s commercial and utility solar plants, while each U.S. grid is designed to ride through the sudden loss of roughly 2.8 to 3.9 GW. Replacing one big transformer now takes about two and a half years. What has actually been found, what Washington has […]

The 2026 Virginia Energy Plan’s cheapest system-cost path is the one that allows new gas. Every clean pathway costs more on the bill, then wins only after a carbon adder. Governor Abigail Spanberger released the 2026 Virginia Energy Plan on October 1 and called it a path to affordable, reliable, local clean power. The modeling […]
