Public Correction & Regulatory Revision: Co-Located Nuclear PPA Timelines After FERC Docket ER24-2172

Following FERC’s rejection of the amended Susquehanna Interconnection Service Agreement (Docket No. ER24-2172) and subsequent technical conference proceedings, we corrected an earlier procedural misstatement and shifted conviction toward front-of-the-meter dispatchable fleets (VST, CEG) over fast-track behind-the-meter co-location assumptions.

Defense & Space Procurement Shift: Verified DoD Obligations vs. Backlog Multiples

Obligated DoD contract awards on USASpending.gov show real budget migration toward autonomous software command-and-control (PLTR), proliferated LEO space transport/launch (RKLB), and missile-defense munitions replenishment (RTX, LMT)—but valuation multiples diverge sharply from funded backlog conversion.

Public Correction & Regulatory Revision: Co-Located Nuclear PPA Timelines After FERC Docket ER24-2172

What Changed Our Mind: Shifted relative preference toward front-of-the-meter grid-tariff-compliant PPA structures (CEG Crane model & VST merchant dispatch fleet) pending FERC uniform co-location rules.

Public Correction & Regulatory Revision: Co-Located Nuclear PPA Timelines After FERC Docket ER24-2172

PUBLIC CORRECTION (#59): An earlier summary paragraph inaccurately implied FERC Docket No. ER24-2172 imposed a blanket ban on all nuclear data-center PPAs rather than rejecting a specific behind-the-meter amended ISA over transmission cost-allocation standards. We corrected the legal scope, added exact docket citations (ER24-2172 & EL25-49), and extended our modeled behind-the-meter regulatory timeline by 9–12 months.
