Faster-than-Expected Data Center Load Growth May Cause Increased Regional Short-term Fossil Fuel Generation and Wholesale Electricity Prices

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.

Dominion Completes Acquisition of Louis Dreyfus Gas

LCG, Nov. 2, 2001--Dominion Resources Inc. said yesterday it has completed the $2.3 billion acquisition of Louis Dreyfus Natural Gas Corp., and will fold the company into its Consolidated Natural Gas subsidiary.

Dominion said the acquisition more than doubles its proven reserves to more than 4.6 trillion cubic feet equivalent. That increase will permit a 40 percent expansion of production to more than 450 million cubic feet of natural gas per year.

All in all, Dominion expects the acquisition to help double its gas sales and trading volumes over the next three years.

The purchase was paid for with $890 million in cash and $900 million in stock from a new issue of 14 million shares. Consolidate also assumed $505 million of Louis Dreyfus debt.
