Secretary of Energy Chris Wright had pressed FERC in October 2025 to devise new rules to address administrative delays and large, looming consumer costs associated with such Large Loads. Rather than open a proceeding to create one set of new Large Load rules, FERC took a different approach. The agency directed its six regional transmission organizations (RTOs) to develop their own Large Load remedies through six “show cause” proceedings. FERC's action compels the six RTOs to justify, in the next 60 days, why their existing means for dealing with Large Loads—again, data centers—are “just and reasonable.” If not, such show cause proceedings compel the RTOs to propose and implement specific remedies.</p>","PeriodicalId":100259,"journal":{"name":"Climate and Energy","volume":"43 2","pages":"21-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148753970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of this growth results from the proliferation of data centers requiring vast amounts of perfectly reliable electricity. In my January 2026 column, I took a more specific look at the Northeast, including New England and New York, and explored the growth, including data center activity in the Boston area and efforts to provide necessary natural gas supply. However, the largest data center-driven growth is occurring in the Mid-Atlantic portion of Northeast power and gas-consuming markets, emanating from the birthplace of the boom in Northern Virginia. In other words, it is in the Pennsylvania–New Jersey–Maryland (PJM) Interconnection, the regional transmission organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia.</p>","PeriodicalId":100259,"journal":{"name":"Climate and Energy","volume":"43 2","pages":"28-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148753971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Problem with Price Elasticity and Electricity Rate Design 价格弹性与电价设计问题

I am referring to price elasticity of demand. When a utility goes in for a rate case and is allowed a certain increase in revenue requirements—and consequently an increase in electricity rates—to cover approved changes in cost of service, the utility's representatives rarely ask the regulatory commission to consider a further increase to compensate for usage reductions stemming from consumer reactions to the price increase. The increase already approved usually came about after a contentious hearing involving intervenors challenging the level of the increase, or even whether any increase at all should have been allowed, and it was usually a hard-fought battle. I once asked a utility employee who had worked on rate cases if the subject of price elasticity ever surfaced during the hearings, and he replied that it was just generally assumed—by both the utility and the regulator—that price elasticity does not exist. The issues already under discussion and debate in the rate case were more than enough for the utility to contend with.</p>","PeriodicalId":100259,"journal":{"name":"Climate and Energy","volume":"43 2","pages":"10-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148753972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

National consensus in the US around nuclear power has shifted so dramatically that shuttered nuclear plants are being evaluated for reopening in multiple states as utilities and policymakers seek carbon-free, dependable generation that can meet both policy goals and rising electricity demand.
