Power & utilities


The power and utilities sector is undergoing significant disruption across all energy sources. Electrification is boosting demand, particularly from lucrative commercial segments like data centers and EV charging, and efficiency gains although material fail to temper overall growth.

Solar, wind, geothermal, and other renewables are driving down costs and increasing adoption, pressuring traditional coal- and gas-fired generation, which now faces rising regulatory and ESG demands. This shift necessitates massive investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure.

New technologies like energy storage and the entry of oil and gas companies into electricity markets are further accelerating this transformation, leading to immense capital investments and a reshaped power and utilities landscape.

Stranded gas in Alberta and the Permian move data centers off the grid

In March 2026, Capital Power advanced plans for a large data center in Alberta using on‑site gas‑fired generation tied to AECO pricing. With AECO prices recently around US$1.00–1.20 per MMBtu, fuel costs are among the lowest available to data‑center developers in North America, reinforcing Alberta’s appeal as a destination for power‑intensive compute. This momentum is […]

Texas turns proposals into power

Texas is shaping the future of U.S. power development. Many regions across the country remain bottlenecked in long interconnection queues filled with early‑stage proposals that may never move forward, yet Texas stands out for a very different reason. ERCOT has far more generation capacity in advanced stages of development than in speculative stages, a contrast […]
