Fortune 500 CEOs and CFOs report confusion and volatility in energy costs, with regional utility price changes impacting quarterly earnings. Commercial electricity prices have risen significantly, with PJM's wholesale grid costs jumping 54% in 2025, driven by aging infrastructure, surging demand from data centers and electric fleets, and unpredictable capacity market pricing.

Solminer.io is accused of fraudulent claims regarding its Paducah KY cryptomining operation, including false advertising of 2 MW power capacity, misleading electricity rates, and expired tax incentives. Engineering reports and utility data confirm the site's infrastructure and pricing do not meet advertised standards.

MISO's resource outlook is improving as forecasted generation additions are expected to outpace demand growth, leading to growing capacity surpluses over the next five years, according to the OMS-MISO survey.
