Rob breaks down the numbers behind this surge in demand and discusses its implications for grid reliability, power markets, and electricity prices. He highlights which regions are facing the highest load growth, identifies bottlenecks in interconnection and transmission, and outlines what policymakers and utilities must do now to ensure the grid can accommodate this demand without causing skyrocketing costs or reliability issues.\n \nTo learn more about Grid Strategies: https://gridstrategiesllc.com/ \nTo learn more about Rob Gramlich: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-gramlich-2a4b594/\nTo learn more about Alan Seltzer, visit: https://www.bipc.com/alan-seltzer⁠     \nTo learn more about John Povilaitis, visit: ⁠https://www.bipc.com/john-povilaitis ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Y-sK9BcvhdYoJntf5sZDvXVdmoEup_Lmouqtywxy1lQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xNzhh/YzVkODFmMDdhOTU0/OWQyYTdlNjI0OGY4/ODIwMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
