And as LBNL's new slide deck explains with this simple graphic, "Load Growth" can increase or decrease rates.

FERC Term of the Week! “Load Growth”: An increase in demand for electricity. This can happen gradually – due to population growth or new businesses – or more rapidly when large facilities, such as data centers, come online.

Berkeley Lab is headed to the #NationalLabSLAM! Our finalist Yashwanth Balaji from our @molecularfndry is tackling a hidden challenge in quantum computing: protecting delicate quantum bits from cosmic rays. #NLSLAM26 @doescience

The team that wrote the magisterial study below has produced an update. As usual, lots of good stuff - with a conclusion that electricity prices are only starting to see an uptick. But everything about the environment is flashing red lights! Like this slide, downright scary:

The @LBNL & @TheBrattleGroup teams have an excellent study out this week on what's feeding electricity price changes over the past 5 years. Legislators should be required to read or get a briefing on it before taking any vote on electricity policy! Highlights & my commentary🧵

We estimate that electrical panels (even small ones) in most homes have capacity to accommodate new loads. The median 100A panel in our model has up to 62A of headroom. This headroom may enable many homes to avoid electrical panel replacements when adding new loads. 4/x

Data on electrical panels is important for understanding the cost and grid impacts of adding new load to homes. New @BerkeleyLab research has nationwide estimates of electrical panel capacity, available breaker space, and panel headroom for new loads in single-family homes. 1/x
