LCG, March 18, 2026--The EIA released a new "In-depth Analysis" of the potential impact of faster-than-expected near-term growth in data center power demand on power generation and wholesale prices on March 12. The analysis models the lower 48 states through 2027 and compares results to its base case scenario. Key takeaway from this sensitivity analysis is the potential increase in fossil fuels in some regions and potentially a significant increase in wholesale prices in ERCOT.

Regulators to Probe Rising CostsFor Silicon Valley Wires Upgrades
LCG, Aug. 24, 2001--The California Public Utilities Commission voted yesterday to hold hearing into the soaring costs that threaten plans by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to make much-needed improvements to power transmission facilities serving Silicon Valley.Sarah Thomas, a CPUC administrative law judge, warned earlier this month that the rising costs would delay PG&E's project. She said existing facilities "will be insufficient to meet demand as early as summer 2002, and it will take PG&E some time to build the project."Silicon Valley, the heart of the U.S. high-tech industry, is a 40-mile stretch of the San Francisco Peninsula, beginning at Palo Alto in the north and extending just beyond San Jose in the south. PG&E has planned improvements which would include a new 7.3 mile, 230 kilovolt transmission line, a new switching station and some other upgrades.But the company says that a change in the route from its recommendation and a new requirement that the line be underground, with cable that must be ordered from France, have more than doubled the cost of the project to $182 million, a big hit for a utility that finds itself in bankruptcy court.PG&E faces a similar transmission upgrade in the Tri-Valley area, a region on the east side of the Oakland Hills that has several fast-growing suburbs and a high-tech industry that spilled over from Silicon Valley.
