The AI-energy nexus has always been a market opportunity worthy of real scrutiny.
We launched this newsletter two years ago as a way to focus our attention on the space, and compile a weekly record of how it’s coming to be the dominant force in energy and digital infrastructure development. What became clear to us in the past year was the need for even deeper analysis.
Gas is ascendant as the generation source of choice; community opposition went from a local development obstacle to a national political wave; and, just last week, the legislators and commissioners governing this market have been voted out in some of the most important states.
Today, we unveil our latest contribution to this market: Latitude Intelligence, a platform designed to surface data and insights critical to those at the forefront of building the systems that power the energy transition.
For months, I’ve been a user of this platform. And I’m excited to get it in the hands of developers, capital providers, and tech companies. As a media and events company, having Latitude Intelligence as part of the business will help us spot trends in the energy transition faster and with more precision. And in the same way a developer can use it to analyze the optimal territories for building renewables and storage in 2027, we’ll be able to deliver more unique reporting here at Latitude Media, both in this newsletter and on our site, and curate more relevant and compelling conversations in our events.
Today, the platform’s focus is on AI infrastructure buildout. We track regulatory and commercial activity across the U.S. on a daily basis, uncovering how much data center load is coming to specific utilities, how the terms of power for large customers is shifting, and whether there is room for new projects in a utility’s plan.
These are the questions that, until now, have been hardest to answer. Historically, they’ve required the coordination of multiple team members employing error-prone methods of harmonizing data across multiple markets or utility territories. Today, for example, I can quickly look within the MISO footprint and assess where to prioritize energy storage development, based on RFPs still open to bid and their procurement timelines. Data of this granularity, once aggregated, yields insights that are actionable and timely.
This is just the beginning. Over time, we plan to broaden the datasets and capabilities beyond large loads to a more comprehensive look at renewables and storage development across organized power markets and utility territories: wherever the energy transition is being built. With a mix of data, analytics, analyst reports, and weekly insights we hope to be helpful to anyone — from a market analyst at a global developer looking to improve their origination strategy, to a VPP aggregator navigating rapidly changing rules around market participation.
The energy transition in the U.S. is in real danger of reversing, and the people and companies who can get it back on track need better data, analysis, and advice. We’ve felt this pull throughout the year at our conferences, and from both our readers and our podcast listeners. Latitude Intelligence is our answer to that pull.
You’ll see this new research show up here each week, in the data behind our reporting and in the questions we ask people onstage. And if you’re one of the people wrestling with those questions every day, take a look at our latest report, Terms of Power II, and let us know by replying directly to this newsletter which ones we should be answering next.
