CES is in Montreal today.

Our own Ginger Hodge, Director of Market Intelligence – MISO, is on stage at the NAEMA 2026 Spring Conference sharing a third-party perspective on one of the most consequential conversations happening in the Midcontinent market right now.

Session: A Third-Party Perspective on Grid Transformation — MISO Strategy Update

MISO's grid transformation isn't a future story — it's unfolding now. Ginger brings the kind of independent, market-grounded view that only comes from living inside the data every day.
If you're in Montreal for NAEMA, this is a session worth being in. Go find Hodge and keep the conversation going.

Keynote Speaker Announcement: CES Connect 2026!

We're proud to announce that Ott will deliver the keynote address at CES Connect 2026 — our inaugural client conference, September 16 in Philadelphia.

Andy brings an unmatched perspective to the energy conversation. As former President & CEO of PJM Interconnection — the world's largest competitive wholesale electricity market — and now Head of Technical Operations at Tapestry (Alphabet), he has both run the grid at scale and is actively working to reinvent it.

His Keynote, “The Grid’s Next Chapter: From Franklin’s Spark to the Age of Intelligence” will trace 250 years of American energy innovation, from Benjamin Franklin’s earliest experiments. Andy will examine what this next era of the American grid actually looks like — the role of AI and unified modeling in grid forecasting, capacity management, and interconnection; what it will take to safely bring massive new loads online; and what the industry needs to do now to ensure a reliable, affordable, and resilient energy future.

Andy is the first of several exceptional speakers we'll be announcing for what promises to be a truly standout day for senior energy market executives from across the country.

Stay tuned — more to come.

Last night, Some members of the CES team traded their screens for seats at Bank Park — and the delivered. Final score: Phillies 6, Athletics 3.

There's something about watching your home team win with your work family that just hits different. Philadelphia is in our DNA — and nights like this remind us why we love being rooted here.

Shoutout to the whole crew for bringing the energy. Let's go Phillies!

When was the last time you refreshed your price forecasts for PJM or NYISO markets? Or your BESS revenue forecast? If the answer is more than a couple of months, it may be time to request a new analysis! CES has just updated our price outlooks for both PJM and NYISO, incorporating the latest news and market updates.

The update integrates PJM’s latest long-term forecast of materially higher peak demand and energy consumption through the 2030s and 2040s alongside CES’s supply outlook, including accelerating storage deployment and new natural gas projects backing that load growth. In New York, our updated forecast considers the latest intel on plant retirements, Offshore Wind construction, and nuclear mandates.

What does this mean for your battery’s revenue? We translate these inputs into price curves through rigorous production cost modeling. In PJM, we are still seeing natural gas pricing acting as a large driver but hourly profiles shifting alongside coal retirements. We are seeing more constrained winter periods, particularly in colder parts of the region. In New York, we are also observing a change in daily price shapes stemming from the retirement of older steam units and a steady build out of the solar fleet and new storage resources coming online. All of these changes will influence the optimal dispatch of your battery.

In this era of rapidly changing policies, price environments, and global affairs, it may no longer be sufficient to update your price curves and revenue analyses once a year. Reach out to our team to learn more about our forecasting services!

released its Short-Term Reliability Process Report on April 15, 2026, selecting solutions to address generator deactivation reliability needs in New York City, Long Island, and the Lower Hudson Valley through 2030.

New York City faces summer peak deficiencies of 410 to 650 MW this year, growing to over 1,100 MW by 2030. The Gowanus and Narrows barges have been extended through May 2029 — the maximum allowed under the NYS DEC Peaker Rule — but they are not enough on their own. Without Champlain Hudson Power Express in service this summer, NYC could still be short by up to 187 MW at peak, and operators would be left managing the gap with emergency procedures.

New York City faces summer peak deficiencies of 410 to 650 MW this year, growing to over 1,100 MW by 2030. The Gowanus and Narrows barge operations have been extended through May 2029 — the maximum allowed under the NYS DEC Peaker Rule — but they are not enough on their own. Without Champlain Hudson Power Express, the Gowanus-Greenwood 345/138 kV feeder, Empire Wind, and the Propel NY transmission project in service, NYC could still be short by up to 187 MW at peak under a barges-only scenario, and operators would be left managing the gap with emergency procedures.

Statewide, the system margin goes negative as early as summer 2027 under current demand forecasts. NYISO describes this as a leading indicator of the system's inability to securely serve demand under normal operations. Emergency procedure usage is projected to triple over the next decade without new dispatchable generation coming online.

The longer-term numbers are harder to ignore. About 3,000 MW of New York's fossil fleet is expected to be unavailable by 2034, with 60% of that risk sitting in New York City. No permanent solution proposed through the solicitation process was found viable for NYC beyond 2029.

The NYISO quarterly Short Term Assessment of Reliability (STAR) process will continue to track how planned projects are progressing.

🌍 Happy Earth Day.

Today, we're thinking about the people behind the progress.

The developers pushing solar and wind projects through every regulatory hurdle. The asset owners optimizing storage dispatch to keep clean electrons on the grid. The operators making real-time decisions that, collectively, are reshaping how energy is produced, managed, and delivered.

At CES, we're proud to support the clients and partners doing this work every day — not just on April 22nd.

The energy transition isn't a headline. It's a project queue, a market position, a dispatch strategy. It's the hard, unglamorous work happening across every ISO in the country.

And we're grateful to be in it alongside you. Learn more at https://hubs.la/Q04d2YF40

We'd love to hear from you — what's the most meaningful clean energy work your team is doing right now? Drop it in the comments. 👇

Day two of kicks off with a question worth sitting with.

Five ISOs. Five completely different worlds. So what does it actually mean to operate across all of them?

Energy Solutons' President Fernands joins the first panel of the day to unpack exactly that — the complexity, the nuance, and the opportunity hiding inside the differences that define today's energy markets.

Panel: All the Same – But All Different – Five ISOs. Five Different Worlds
📅 Tuesday, April 21 | 10:00 AM CT

Stephen has been navigating these markets since the beginning. This is the kind of perspective that only comes from 28 years in the room.

If you're at , don't miss it — and go say hello to Fernands while you're there.
