The latest Despite multiple rounds of severe weather on Tuesday and Wednesday that caused additional outages and slowed restoration efforts, crews continue to make steady progress while working through fallen trees, blocked roads, damaged poles and extensive damage to the electric system. More than 1,000 additional lineworkers, tree trimmers, damage assessors and support personnel from outside Ohio and Kentucky are supporting the restoration effort or traveling to the region to assist. Beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday, many customers will be able to see when their power is expected to be restored by visiting Duke Energy's Outage Map. Because of the extensive damage in some areas, restoration estimates for some outages may not be available immediately. Damage assessments remain ongoing. As workers gain access to damaged infrastructure and complete assessments, restoration plans and estimated restoration times will continue to be updated. Our view Andy Cassidy, Duke Energy storm director: \"Our crews have made significant progress under extremely challenging conditions, but we still have substantial work ahead of us. \"We're pulling in more than 1,000 additional workers to support this restoration effort. They'll work alongside our employees and contractors in Ohio and Kentucky to safely restore service for our customers as quickly as possible. \"We're also reaching a point where we can begin providing estimated restoration times for many outages. We know customers want information about when their power will be restored, and we're working to provide that information as quickly as possible. We appreciate their continued patience as damage assessments continue.\" What's next Lineworkers, tree crews and damage assessors will continue working around the clock to repair and replace damaged equipment, clear debris and restore service. Restoration work is progressing across the region, with many customers already restored and thousands more expected to regain service soon. Some outages, particularly those involving broken poles, downed lines or significant equipment damage, may require more time to repair. Duke Energy restores power using a process designed to return service to the greatest number of customers as quickly and safely as possible while prioritizing facilities that support public health and safety. As damage assessments continue, Duke Energy will communicate updates \u2013 including estimated restoration times \u2013 to customers through the company's Outage Alerts and its Outage Map. Customers can also stay informed through the Duke Energy mobile app. Story Continues What customers should expect Stay safe: Stay away from downed or sagging power lines and anything they're touching, operate generators safely and follow other post-storm tips.

Quote VST's Operational Highlights Total retail electricity sales volume declined 4.4% to 31,800 GWh, as ERCOT sales volumes fell 7.8% and Northeast/Midwest volumes increased 0.7%. Fuel, purchased power costs and delivery fees declined 10.1% to $1.77 billion. Lower costs reflected a $123 million increase in unrealized mark-to-market gains on commodity derivatives and lower realized fuel costs from optimizing dispatch of select gas units, partly offset by the acquired Lotus plants. Operating costs increased 16.4% to $853 million, driven mainly by higher maintenance and outage costs, the Lotus plants and incremental costs tied to the Moss Landing incident, net of insurance recoveries. Selling, general and administrative expenses fell 6.4% to $392 million, reflecting lower transition and merger costs and legal settlements. Ongoing operations adjusted EBITDA rose 31% to $1.77 billion, aided by higher realized energy and capacity prices and contributions from the Lotus assets. Operating income rose 7.4% to $553 million. Net income attributable to Vistra decreased 6.7% to $305 million, mainly because unrealized mark-to-market losses on derivative positions increased by $488 million. Vistra's Hedging Supports Forward Visibility As of Aug. 3, 2026, Vistra had hedged nearly 100% of expected generation volumes for 2026, 94% for 2027 and 72% for 2028. Management said the hedging program supports the company's 2026 outlook and helps reduce exposure to changes in forward power prices. VST's Liquidity and Shareholder Returns Remain Strong Story Continues Cash and cash equivalents were $435 million at June 30, 2026, compared with $785 million at year-end 2025. Total available liquidity stood at $6.30 billion, including $4.41 billion available under the corporate revolving credit facility and $1.45 billion under the commodity-linked facility. Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2026 rose 89.8% to $2.22 billion. Vistra spent $709 million on share repurchases during the period. As of Aug. 3, roughly $1.2 billion remained under the authorization, which the company expects to complete no later than year-end 2027. Vistra Reaffirms 2026 Guidance and Advances Growth Vistra reaffirmed 2026 ongoing operations adjusted EBITDA guidance of $6.8-$7.6 billion and ongoing operations adjusted free cash flow before growth of $3.925-$4.725 billion. Management said first-half performance supports an outcome at or above the midpoint of the 2026 ranges. The company also advanced several growth initiatives. Vistra committed up to $1 billion to Helix Digital Infrastructure and will serve as its preferred power partner. It also received FERC approval for the pending Cogentrix Energy acquisition, which is expected to close in late 2026 and add about 5,500 MW of natural gas generation capacity.

Ltd. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. Quote CWCO's Segment Revenue Mix Retail revenues were $8.66 million, up 0.3% year over year. Water sales volume declined 2% amid slightly wetter weather in Grand Cayman, but this was offset by higher rates and increased sales volume to a major non-potable water customer. Bulk revenues increased 20.1% to $9.93 million. Growth primarily reflected higher energy-related revenues in the Bahamas and contributions from two new seawater desalination plants on Cat Island, commissioned in 2026. Manufacturing revenues plunged 48.6% to $2.69 million due to the lower dollar amount of new purchase orders. Services revenues increased 1.2% to $11.59 million. Construction revenues surged 88.9% to $5.34 million, driven by projects involving a drinking water plant expansion in Colorado and a wastewater recycling plant in California. Both projects are scheduled for completion in 2026.

AI-driven data centers use significantly more electricity due to intensive computing, powerful chips and cooling needs, boosting utility growth opportunities. PPL's Pennsylvania segment registered nearly 31.8 gigawatts (GW) of potential data center demand, up 3.5 GW from the previous quarter, with nearly 11 GW covered by signed electric service agreements (ESAs) and more than 6.5 GW under construction. The two data centers began receiving utility service and are expected to ramp up their load to approximately 2 GW by 2031. In the Kentucky segment, the economic development pipeline now indicates potential load growth of 13.7 GW through 2032, up from the earlier estimate of 12.9 GW. This includes 11.6 GW of data center opportunities. PPL is making significant capital investments to modernize its infrastructure and support the growing power needs of data centers. It plans to invest $23 billion through 2029. PPL is also advancing its Invitium Energy joint venture with Blackstone to develop a new generation specifically to serve data center demand. Through these initiatives, PPL is well-positioned to benefit from the accelerating growth in data center demand. These initiatives create opportunities for additional revenues while supporting sustainable long-term growth. Data Centers Accelerate Utility Growth Opportunities The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital infrastructure is positioning data centers as a key growth driver for electric utilities. This drives regulated investment, long-term power contracts, predictable revenues and sustained earnings growth for utilities. American Electric AEP benefits from rising AI-driven hyperscale data center power demand. It expects 69 GW of incremental contracted load by 2030, up from 63GW, with hyperscale data centers expected to represent nearly 90% of total demand. FirstEnergy Corp. FE is benefiting from rising electricity demand from data center development, with contracted and pipeline demand reaching 24.8 gigawatts, up about 30% from the first quarter.

Some were early-stage, expensive and increasingly difficult to permit. Weak projects should be allowed to fail. The strange part is that the U.S. government is paying companies to abandon one energy technology and directing their capital toward another. Between March and August, the Department of the Interior reached a series of agreements worth approximately $3.9 billion with TotalEnergies, Bluepoint Wind, Golden State Wind, Invenergy, Duke Energy and RWE. The arrangements differ, and some reimbursements remain conditional on matching investments. But the basic mechanism is consistent: relinquish offshore-wind leases, invest comparable sums largely in natural gas, LNG or oil, and recover the lease payments from the federal government. The latest agreement provides RWE with $1.22 billion to resolve claims and surrender leases off New York, California and Louisiana. RWE is investing $900 million in Louisiana LNG infrastructure and has reserved $300 million of gas turbines for a pipeline of 15 peaking plants. This is being presented as energy dominance. In reality, it is an unusually expensive bet that America's future competitiveness can be powered primarily by more of the fuel it already uses most. This Is Industrial Policy Pointed Backwards The administration argues that the leases were sold under unrealistic assumptions about subsidies, costs and permitting. There is truth in that criticism. U.S. offshore wind has been damaged by inflation, higher interest rates, supply-chain constraints and a permitting process capable of consuming most of a decade. Yet these settlements are not the market independently choosing gas over wind. They are government agreements that socialize the cost of retreat and make reimbursement dependent on investment in politically preferred technologies. TotalEnergies, for example, committed $928 million to LNG, oil and gas investments before becoming eligible for dollar-for-dollar reimbursement of its surrendered leases. It also agreed not to develop new U.S. offshore-wind projects. Bluepoint Wind made a similar commitment while redirecting up to $765 million into LNG. Invenergy's $765 million is going mainly to gas-fired plants across five states, with some geothermal investment. Related: America's $4 Billion Wind Retreat Is a Bet on Permanently Cheap Gas That is not project selection. It is technology selection. The most revealing evidence comes from what these companies are doing elsewhere. RWE has not concluded that offshore wind has no future. In the United Kingdom, it recently secured contracts for projects representing up to 6.9 GW of offshore-wind capacity. What RWE concluded is that U.S. offshore wind has no foreseeable permitting path. Story Continues The technology did not leave the market. The market left the United States. Gas Is a Useful Partner, Not a Complete Strategy The strongest defence of the policy is straightforward. America has abundant natural gas, electricity demand is accelerating, and gas turbines can provide power when wind and solar cannot. Data centres, manufacturers and households need reliable electricity now, not after another decade of litigation. That argument deserves to be taken seriously. Natural gas will remain essential to the U.S. electricity system, particularly for flexibility and near-term capacity. But a useful balancing resource becomes a strategic vulnerability when it is allowed to dominate the portfolio. Natural gas already supplied around 41% of U.S. utility-scale electricity in 2025. Adding more gas generation while deliberately removing wind options increases the amount of electricity whose price depends on a traded fuel. The fact that American gas is currently relatively cheap does not make it permanently cheap. U.S. wholesale gas-price volatility reached 171% in February 2022. It eased afterwards, but returned above 100% in early 2025.

As Virginia Mercury reported, a new order could place a larger share of those expenses on the biggest power users, reducing how much is spread across households and small businesses. What happened? The State Corporation Commission's final order requires Dominion Energy to create a tariff or similar policy that would more directly connect certain transmission costs to data centers and other large-load customers. As the publication noted, the question emerged in Dominion's latest rider T1 case, the rate-adjustment mechanism the utility uses to recover the cost of building high-voltage transmission lines and substations. Virginia Mercury reported that Gov. Abigail Spanberger's administration took the unusual step of weighing in, arguing that residential customers should not be billed for projects built solely because of data center growth. \"This order \u2014 which is projected to save Virginians hundreds of millions of dollars \u2014 makes sure that data centers are paying the full cost of the transmission infrastructure their developments require,\" Spanberger said in a statement. Commissioners also said that a new tariff may still leave some situations unresolved when reliability upgrades appear to be driven directly by one or more large-load customers. In its 2024 integrated resource plan, Dominion listed 203 transmission projects in its grid connection pipeline, Virginia Mercury reported. The commission also cited the proposed Valley Link transmission line, a 115-mile, 765-kilovolt project from Lynchburg to Culpeper, as an example of the type of project that could eventually be charged more directly to large-load users. Why does it matter? Because transmission infrastructure is costly, the way utilities divide those expenses can affect monthly power bills. When the charges are spread across the entire customer base, households can end up helping pay for projects that mostly serve power-intensive commercial sites. That matters especially in Virginia, where Northern Virginia remains a major data center hub. As more facilities connect to the grid, the need for substations, line upgrades, and long-distance transmission capacity rises with them. In this case, Dominion sought to recover $1.5 billion through the rider, which Virginia Mercury said would amount to about 94 cents per month for the average customer. That was already down from an initial estimate of $2.90 a month after Dominion changed its formula to shift more costs to data centers. Environmental advocates said the ruling could help establish a more equitable approach. Story Continues \"The decision establishes an important precedent: Virginia families and small businesses should not subsidize transmission infrastructure built solely to connect new large-load data centers,\" said Chris Miller, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, according to Virginia Mercury. What's being done? The outlet noted Dominion now has to develop the tariff or broader policy framework requested by regulators, a process that will determine when transmission costs can be billed directly to data centers and other very large users instead of being shared more widely. Even with the GS-5 class in place, commissioners said there may be transmission-related reliability costs that still need a clearer method for assigning responsibility. The governor also said in the statement she plans to work with lawmakers so data centers \"pay their fair share, adhere to strict environmental standards, and listen to the concerns of local communities.\" Get TCD's free newsletters for easy tips, smart advice, and a chance to earn $5,000 toward home upgrades.
