About this topic
About our power generation coverage
Aterio tracks generation projects across the United States, gas, solar, wind, storage and behind the meter builds, from first filing through construction and into commercial operation.
These notes look at who is adding capacity, where it lands on the grid and how quickly it can serve new load. Data center growth is now one of the largest drivers of new generation, so we follow the interconnection queues, the utility resource plans and the private power deals that decide whether announced megawatts become real ones.
