Whitmer urges Michigan regulators to reject hydro dam deal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A proposal by Michigan utility Consumers Energy to sell its fleet of hydroelectric dams in the state to a private equity company would impose “unacceptable safety and financial risks,” Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer wrote Thursday in a letter to state regulators. Whitmer, who is term-limited and can’t seek reelection this fall, said in the letter that she can’t support the deal without conditions to address those risks, and she urged the Public Service Commission to reject it next month when i
Louisiana regulators kill effort to subpoena details of Meta data center (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Meta won’t have to divulge key details about a planned data center in Louisiana after the state’s utility commission voted 3-1 on Wednesday to reverse an administrative judge’s ruling that would have forced the social media giant to release more information about the project. All three Republicans on the Public Service Commission agreed to grant Meta’s request to overturn a July 10 decision that would have required the technology company to turn over details such as the data center’s expected em
Democratic governors turn to nuclear power as response to energy crunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Wisconsin regulators took the unprecedented step Thursday of forcing the developer of a $1.4 billion power line to restart a yearlong approval process, leaving the timeline for one of the Midwest’s largest data centers in limbo. The Public Service Commission’s 3-0 vote was technical in nature. It revoked a “completeness determination” granted in December for American Transmission Co.’s (ATC) application for the 100-mile high-voltage line that would deliver power to the Stargate data center in Po
A Louisiana energy regulator got a DOE gig. He plans to keep both jobs. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Trump administration official will help decide later this year whether Louisiana’s largest utility can build seven new natural gas plants to serve Meta’s $50 billion Hyperion data center. Eric Skrmetta is the chair of the Louisiana Public Service Commission — and, as of a few months ago, the principal deputy under secretary at the Department of Energy, according to the Louisiana Illuminator. He told the publication that he plans to keep both positions until the end of his PSC term in December.
