LOADPATH is the daily briefing on data centers and energy across North America.

Data centers are now among the largest new loads on the grid. The decisions that shape them are spread across FERC, state and provincial commissions, legislatures, grid operators and local governments in the United States, Canada and Mexico. LOADPATH puts them in one read.

What you get

• The Daily, every weekday by 8:00 AM ET, with the newest stories first.
• The Weekly, every Friday: the week's most relevant stories by section.
• The Large-Load Tracker: open large-load tariff, interconnection and service proceedings, updated with every edition.
• The Calendar: upcoming hearings, comment deadlines, votes and effective dates, ready to download into your own calendar.

What we cover

Eight sections: FERC, CER & Commissions; Policy & Regulation; Power & Energy; New Builds & Campuses; Deals & Capital; Sentiment & Community; Flexible Capacity, DER & BYOC; plus the Tracker and the Calendar.

How we work

Every fact is backed by a short quote from its source and links to the original. Docket, case and bill numbers are shown where the issuing body confirms them, with a direct link to the regulator's own page where one exists. We report what sources state; we do not speculate.

Who it's for

Utilities, regulators, stakeholders, developers, investors, legal and policy teams who need to know what changed, where, and what's next.
