I'm dense when it comes to finance, so the fact that I got to a point of understanding how utilities earn profit and why they should or shouldn't earn less means you can too. I stayed up till 3am trying to explain in an accessible way. Hopefully it was worth it!

Great report from @robgramlichdc.bsky.social and folks at Grid Strategies on a possible path for data center demand over the next five years.

This is really tough to predict, but good to have a "stake in the ground" which can be used going forward.

Grid Strategies finds 90GW of data centers pushing U.S. peak demand additions to 166GW by 2030, as much as 15 New York Cities. It also found utilities may be overstating DC demand by 40%, highlighting cost risks being pushed onto everyday customers:
