A report on the reliability of the New York State's power grid was released by NYISO. It urges caution.
A Comprehensive Reliability Plan on NY’s power grid was released on Friday by The New York Independent System Operator. The report highlighted the convergence of three major trends: the rapid growth of large loads, the aging generation fleet and a lack of new dispatchable generation resources being added to the system. NYSIO identified microchip manufacturing and AI-related data centers as sources of the large loads on the system. Senior Vice President of System and Resource Planning, Zach Smith, said “The system requires additional dispatchable generation to serve forecasted increases in demand.” The Comprehensive Reliability Plan is issued biennially and identifies emerging risks to reliability on the electric system.
