Ryan is an energy attorney who helps clients navigate regulatory complexity and close deals. He previously worked on energy policy in the U.S. Senate and at FERC.

The nation’s six regional grid operators recently told FERC how they plan to keep the lights on as large loads reshape the grid. Their July 20, 2026 Informational Reports offer a rare, coast-to-coast snapshot of the regulatory landscape for data centers, AI campuses, and other large loads. They also signal what to expect when each grid operator files its Show Cause Response on August 17, 2026.
