•BYD plans to deploy 3,000 ultrafast EV chargers across Europe by 2027, including 600 in the UK, capable of charging an EV in approximately 5 minutes.
•This initiative represents a substantial, concentrated increase in electrical load, creating significant opportunities for IPPs and developers to supply power and develop associated grid infrastructure.
•The high instantaneous power demand of ultrafast charging necessitates robust local grid connections, potential transmission upgrades, and strong consideration for co-located energy storage solutions to manage peak loads.

•Connecticut's Attorney General and state agencies have filed a complaint with FERC to remove a 0.5% Return on Equity (ROE) adder for Eversource and Avangrid within ISO New England.
•The complaint argues that a new state law mandating these utilities' participation in ISO-NE renders the incentive-based RTO adder, designed to encourage RTO membership, obsolete.
•If FERC approves, this action could lead to a marginal reduction in transmission costs for large power consumers and IPPs in Connecticut, while signaling increased regulatory scrutiny on utility cost recovery mechanisms in the region.
