Global Grid Digitalization Investment to Hit US$150 Billion by 2030 Amid Growing Demand for Energy Capacity and Flexibility
Investments in energy grid modernization and digitalization have not kept pace with energy demands and requirements over the past years. Given rapid electrification and the ongoing energy transition toward net zero, spending on grid digital transformation needs to accelerate. According to a new report from global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, aggregated worldwide investments in grid digitalization will grow from US$81 billion in 2024 to US$152 billion in 2030. “The benefits of t...
Morningstar DBRS Comments on MISO's Historic $22 Billion Regional Transmission Plan
Key Highlights • We expect the credit impact of Tranche 2.1 on utility companies to be neutral, provided that they can finance the capex and maintain their debt-to-capital ratios in alignment with the regulatory capital structure. • MISO’s alignment with FERC Order No. 1920 should benefit transmission owners. • Legal challenges to right of first refusal laws could create delays. • Uncertainty on decarbonization policies could weaken cost-benefits On December 12, 2024, the Midcontinent In...

Morningstar DBRS Comments on Impact of Potential U.S. Tariffs or Electricity Export Ban on Ontario Independent Power Producers
Key Highlights • Ontario Premier Doug Ford has threatened to cut off electricity supply to the United States if it imposes a blanket 25% tariff on Canadian goods. • If the tariff or the electricity export ban occurs, we do not expect either to materially affect most power producers with operations in Ontario. • However, we believe that either scenario would decrease the efficiency of electricity systems in both Ontario and connected U.S. states, which would increase overall electricity syste...
