New transmission line will lower electric bills in Massachusetts, Healey says. Here's how much you could save. A new transmission line carrying power from Canada to New England will lower electricity bills in Massachusetts, Gov. Maura Healey says.

"This transmission line will deliver affordable, stable power from our partners in Canada to our residents and businesses," Healey said in a statement. "More energy means lower costs." πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

We don't hear stories like this from our legacy corporate mainstream media.

I wonder why that is?

Great report from @robgramlichdc.bsky.social and folks at Grid Strategies on a possible path for data center demand over the next five years.

This is really tough to predict, but good to have a "stake in the ground" which can be used going forward.
