Love seeing @SPGEnergyPower spotlight this! Great insights from Hill Vaden and Doug Giuffre on the podcast! The grid's "frog is dead" moment is real: AI/data centers + electrification are rewriting the rules. Full article: powermag.com/the-frog-is-de…

This is a very timely event for the power industry with all the load growth coming from data centers. The committee is putting together a program you won't want to miss. Join us in D.C., Sept. 30–Oct. 1.

We have a great advisory board helping create the agenda for this year's event. I can't wait to attend the conference in D.C., Sept. 28–Oct. 1!

@LongArcNews @POWERmagazine Great discussion, Nazem! Queues to 2030+ and repeated caps prove centralized gen can't match AI's curve. Navy nuke + Quad Cities alum here—big fan of #nuclear. Do you think SMRs can be built on time/budget today? I hope so, but history hasn't been kind. Your take? #AIPower

The BTM engine trend you and @POWERmagazine are highlighting connects directly to a larger shift. When grid interconnection queues stretch to 2030+ and capacity auctions keep hitting the price cap, the market is telling you something: centralized generation cannot scale fast enough for the AI demand curve. The question is whether BTM solutions can deliver the baseload reliability that data centers need, or whether this becomes the forcing function for modular nuclear deployment.

1/5 AI is rewriting the rules of power generation. Data centers now demand gigawatts of ultra-reliable, fast-start energy—and reciprocating internal combustion engines are stepping up in a massive way. Manufacturers are landing historic orders and scaling production to meet the surge. New in POWER: powermag.com/engine-power-p… #AI #DataCenters #PowerGeneration

@POWERmagazine @LongArcNews Great thread here! PJM's 6.6 GW shortfall + repeated $333/MW-day caps show grid/market limits are now the hard stop for AI scaling—data centers driving nearly all the new demand spike. Onsite engines offer the fastest bridge. powermag.com/engine-power-p… #AIPower #DataCenters

You nailed it! Couldn't have said it better—thanks for the sharp analysis on the PJM shortfalls and market signals! Energy infrastructure as the binding constraint on AI is exactly why behind-the-meter engines are exploding: fast-deploy, flexible, and independent of grid queues. How long do you think it takes for investors/tech firms to fully price this in—6 months, a year, or longer? Curious on your read.

Plant Vogtle was POWER's Plant of the Year in 2024! It's still an honor worth recognizing. powermag.com/plant-vogtle-u…

5/5 The data center/AI boom is tipping the scales—hyperscalers crave transparent pricing, fast interconnection, & direct clean energy contracts, all easier in organized markets. The question isn't if more regions join the experiment... but how fast. Read the full analysis: powermag.com/how-americas-p… What do you think—RTOs winning? Reply below! ⚡ #ElectricityMarkets #EnergyTransition #PowerIndustry

@POWERmagazine I love power history! The details about how our grid evolved are fascinating to me.

1/5 Nearly 30 years after FERC Order 888 sparked a national experiment in electricity markets, which U.S. regions made the smarter bet: competitive RTOs/ISOs or traditional vertically integrated utilities? Our latest deep dive weighs the evidence. Thread 👇 powermag.com/how-americas-p…
