A new BloombergNEF report estimates that the 165 GW of gas-fired generation capacity proposed to be built beside data centers would give the facilities a carbon footprint 79% greater than if they took power from the grid. The report details the consequences of the speed to power strategy and offers alternatives, such as speeding up interconnections and allowing flexible large load connections to reduce the need for new generation. It also warns that temporary gas plants could remain operational after the facilities connect to the grid and lock in emissions for decades. ow.ly/aHVF5105Xvo

The board’s Markets Committee expects to make a preliminary decision by the end of the year. See what other ideas were suggested. ow.ly/vPUb5105XuE
