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.

NY Wind Projects Poised to Start Construction

LCG, August 22, 2007--The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) last week granted Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) for the Cohocton and Dutch Hill wind projects in Steuben County, New York.

The combined electric generating capacity of the two wind farms is 127.5 MW. The Cohocton project will include a maximum of 35 Clipper wind turbines, each with a generating capacity of 2.5 MW. Each wind turbine will include a 315-foot diameter, three-blade rotor mounted on a 262-foot tall tubular steel tower. The Dutch Hill project will include up to 16 Clipper wind turbines of the same size.

The projects are being developed by Canandaigua Power Partners and Canandaigua Power Partners II, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UPC Wind Partners, LLC. According to the developer, construction on the Cohocton project is to commence this week.
