Commissioner Courtney Yaltman told the Environment and Transportation Committee that ERCOT’s energy‑only market and retiring generation require new tools such as conditioned net‑metering (Senate Bill 6), dispatchable reliability services and accelerated battery deployment to keep electricity reliable as demand grows.

At a public hearing, city staff described a proposed six-month moratorium on siting battery energy storage systems while multiple residents, university students and experts urged both cautious regulation and support for storage that would help integrate renewables amid local growth.

Representative Scott presented H.631 to set nonbinding statewide energy‑storage goals (200 MW by 2030, 450 MW by 2035, 800 MW by 2040), arguing storage improves flexibility, reduces peak purchases and supports renewables; members requested testimony on targets, costs and treatment of behind‑the‑meter resources.

UC San Diego’s San Diego Supercomputer Center will host a demonstration of a medium-voltage solid-state transformer and flexible-load architecture, aiming to enhance the integration of high-density AI data centers with California's power grid. The project, receiving $8.48 million in funding from the California Energy Commission, distinguishes itself by evaluating the technology within an active AI

Lawmakers discuss policies to support coal in light of competitive market pressures.

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are reshaping nuclear energy deployment, particularly for developing economies facing energy shortages, infrastructure challenges, and climate-related pressures.

The Public Utilities Commission voted 04/29/2026 to grant Public Service Company of Colorado authority to site and construct Segment 5 of the Power Pathways transmission project along the company's preferred route, finding statutory preconditions met and that statewide reliability needs outweigh local objections; the company must file compliance materials within 90 days, including camera evaluations and coordination with fire districts.

Experts discuss the relevance of transmission and backup costs in Colorado's energy pricing.

The Prescription: A new grid architecture conceptualised in three distinct but interconnected functional layers, each with a clear role and economic logic. by Sharmila Chavaly, BasisPointInsight.com

As the demand for electricity surges with the rapid expansion of data centers across the mid-Atlantic region, the power grid operator PJM faces a pressing challenge: balancing energy production with affordability and reliability concerns. Despite consideration of 12 different proposals from various stakeholders, no consensus has been reached, highlighting the need to address the significant investment required to construct sufficient power generation capacity and maintain grid stability while ensuring equal opportunities for renewable energy projects and avoiding preferential treatment for fossil fuels.
