Utility Dive featured insights from Digital Infrastructure Co-chair Steven Shparber in an article focused on what to expect from FERC in 2026, including the agency’s focus on ensuring recent interconnection and transmission changes are successfully implemented.
In response to the US Department of Energy’s proposal to regulate the interconnection of data centers, Steven commented, “It’s going to be interesting to see how far FERC goes in terms of asserting jurisdiction over the interconnection of large loads. I think FERC is going to be very careful to make sure that any final rule is legally durable.”
