Market context and why this analysis matters New Jersey’s power market is entering a compressed moment where politics, prices, and physics collide as customer bills jump, PJM’s reserve margin tightens, and large-load demand from data centers accelerates right when a new administration makes

Setting the Stage for a Power Revolution Imagine a world where every click, search, or AI-generated response silently pushes the electric grid closer to its breaking point. In today's digital economy, data centers are the unsung heroes fueling cloud services and artificial intelligence, yet their

Christopher Hailstone has spent his career at the intersection of energy management, renewables, and grid operations, so he brings a practical lens to the post-OBBBA moment. LevelTen’s survey shows an enormous U.S. pipeline and a clear pivot toward storage and hybrids, and Christopher unpacks how

In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, the backbone of this technological revolution—data centers—faces a critical hurdle: energy. These sprawling hubs, powering everything from cloud computing to AI algorithms, consume staggering amounts of electricity, often outpacing the

In a nation racing toward a cleaner energy future, the quest for reliable, affordable storage solutions has become a critical challenge, especially as the grid struggles to store excess renewable energy for peak demand without high costs or safety risks. Enter sodium-ion batteries—a technology that

Allow me to introduce Christopher Hailstone, a seasoned expert in energy management, renewable energy, and electricity delivery. With a deep understanding of grid reliability and security, Christopher offers invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of utilities in the United States. In this

Every day, mountains of plastic waste pile up across the globe, with over 300 million tons produced annually, yet less than 10% ever gets recycled. Picture a single-use plastic bag, tossed after a quick grocery run, lingering in a landfill for centuries or drifting into the ocean to harm marine

As the sun rises over the rolling hills of New Hampshire, a quiet revolution is taking shape in the form of the Poverty Plains solar project in Warner, poised to be the state’s largest solar array. Spanning 20 acres with a $10 million investment, this initiative by Encore Renewable Energy is more

What happens when a renewable energy powerhouse like hydropower gets tangled in bureaucratic knots before it can even prove its potential? Across the United States, developers are battling regulatory delays that threaten to stall clean energy progress. The National Hydropower Association (NHA) has

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is driving unprecedented growth in digital infrastructure, data centers are grappling with an insatiable demand for reliable and immediate power, a need that has now eclipsed traditional priorities like proximity to fiber networks. This shift marks a
