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.

Xcel Expands Plans for Wind Power in Minnesota
LCG, February 2, 2007--Xcel Energy announced earlier this week its plan to construct its first wind farm in Minnesota. The wind project is estimated to cost $210 million and scheduled to be complete by 2009. The new facility would have an electric generating capacity of 100 MW.
Xcel Energy's use of wind power in Minnesota took another step forward last month when it was announced that project financing for the Fenton Wind Energy Project, a 205-MW project under construction in Minnesota, was complete and that energy from the project is to be sold to Northern States Power, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy. The power output will be purchased under a 25-year agreement. The facility includes 137 GE wind turbines, each with a capacity of 1.5 MW, and is scheduled to start commercial operations in the second half of this year. enXco, Inc. is the developer of the Fenton Wind Energy Project.
