LCG, February 20, 2026--The EIA today issued an "in-brief analysis" that estimates U.S. power plant developers and operators plan to complete a record installation of 86 GW of new, utility-scale electric generating capacity that is connected to the U.S. power grid in 2026. Last year, 53 GW of new capacity was added to the grid, which was the largest capacity installation in a single year since 2002. Thus the estimate of 86 GW of new capacity in 2026 is a whopping 33 GW greater than the year prior. It should be noted that over 20 GW of the 86 GW of new capacity this year is estimated to be completed in December.

LI-to-CT Cross-Sound Cable Shut Down by DOE
LCG, May 7, 2004--The high-voltage line that stretches across the Long Island Sound, connecting New York with Connecticut, will cease transmitting power, following a Department of Energy decision that a previously issued emergency order allowing flows was no longer justified.The underwater cable began operations under contentious circumstances, following the power blackout that affected millions last August. According to the Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal prior its activation, the underwater cable had not been buried sufficiently deeply beneath the bottom of the Sound, and posed a hazard to marine life. The 330-megawatt cable was put in place by Cross-Sound Cable Co. LLC.
