Organizations can leverage energy regulatory data to identify complex business risks and opportunities. However, these insights often remain hidden within dense and disconnected sources, posing a major barrier to utilizing this information to better understand complex issues.
One of the energy industry’s biggest questions is how utilities can meet growing energy demand from data centers. Here’s how to use the power of regulatory intelligence to gain insights on this topic from publicly available data, including a rate case, an integrated resource plan and utility earnings calls.
An analysis of Kinder Morgan’s recent rate case settlement for the Southern Natural Gas pipeline identifies a business risk: certain customers might cancel their service contracts due to underutilization. Among the potentially at-risk parties was Calhoun Generating Facility, a generating station that was recently acquired by Alabama Power.
To understand the implications fully, additional context about Alabama Power's operations and strategy provide further insights. An analysis of Alabama Power's earnings call transcripts and their integrated resource plan highlights the following:
This creates an interesting scenario within Alabama Power's operations:
By connecting these seemingly disparate pieces of information across multiple data sources, the analysis produces a potential opportunity: Alabama Power could consider colocating a data center with the Calhoun generating station. This approach could:
