Case Information
Commission-led Technical Conference Scheduled Dec. 16, 2024
The State Corporation Commission is of the opinion and finds that it is timely to explore the current and projected future challenges presented by serving various types of large-use, hyperscale customers from the perspective of utility consumer services cooperatives (electric cooperatives), investor-owned electric utilities (IOUs), existing customers, and potential new load.
To that end, the SCC established PUR-2024-00144 (Ex Parte: Electric Utilities and Data Center Load Growth) and invited those interested to submit a self-nomination to tech-conf-PUR-2024-00144@scc.virginia.gov to participate as panalests during the proceeding.
Panelists will provide pre-conference background materials and a written opening statement to facilitate the discussion during the technical conference; those materials will be available as part of the public record in this proceeding.
Additional details will be issued in this proceeding via a supplemental notice.
