AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoGrid Stress Warning: PJM, which runs power for 67 million people, says the system can’t keep up with AI-driven demand and shrinking reliable supply—so data centers may face deliberate cuts during peak hours, with a “differential reliability” plan that would ration electricity and raise economic risk. Nuclear Flashpoints: Ukraine struck near Europe’s biggest nuclear plant at Zaporizhzhia for a third day, knocking out power to Energodar’s grid equipment and disrupting city services. Rooftop Solar Push (and Friction): New Zealand is launching a review to slash “red tape” for small solar installs, while Vietnam’s rooftop market still stalls on weak export pricing for surplus power. Local Power Moves: Portugal’s energy coverage and Zimbabwe’s long-awaited stability both hinge on whether new supply can last; in the U.S., Fayette Township again delayed a decision on Heartwood Solar II. Security + Reliability: Europe’s grid operators are ramping up surveillance and hardening after sabotage threats, as data centers and electrification keep raising the stakes.
