Setting the Stage: Complex Load Growth and What's Actually Reshaping the Grid

Across the United States, ISOs are staring down the barrel of a new era of potential demand growth layered on top of a rapidly evolving supply stack — a twofold market dynamic creating new complexities for market participants to navigate.

To name a few:

• Rising base load and shifting demand profiles
  
• Data center buildout and operational uncertainty
  
• Data center interconnection queues and hard-to-comprehend demand projections
  
• Substantial solar and battery capacity additions
  
  

The Summer Demand Series kicks off with a high-level overview of changes occurring on both the supply and demand side of the equation. We will look at both historical and forward-looking changes, as well as highlight the changing market dynamics from substantial solar and battery capacity build-out.

SUMMER DEMAND SERIES

Covering the biggest topics in the industry while paying attention to the full spectrum of market complexities is a tall task for a single webinar, so Yes Energy is hosting a Summer Demand Series led by Alex Bennitt, Product Manager and former market fundamentals manager.

Across four 30-minute webinars, we’ll mostly focus on the demand side of the equation, covering the macrodynamics the industry is facing, then dive into demand projects, operational data from a hyperscaler, and the impact of crypto mining on the grid.

Watch the other sessions in the series.

• Part 2 On-Demand: Demand Projections: When, Where, and How Much

• Part 3 On-Demand: What Does a Hyperscale Data Center Really Look Like?

• Part 4 On-Demand: Crypto Mining: The Flexible Load Wildcard

After attending our Summer Demand Series, you’ll have a better understanding of complex load growth and examples of public/proprietary data to help unmask the market uncertainty around demand growth and operations.
