5%AI data centres are becoming some of the biggest power customers in the US, with Wall Street talking of more than $1 trillion in AI spending by 2027. Three utilities stand to gain from the grid strain. Black Hills, valued at about $5.8 billion, has a pipeline of more than 3 GW in Wyoming from hyperscale data centre customers. About 600 MW is already in its plan through 2030. Public Service Enterprise Group, valued at about $35.2 billion, offers regulated networks and nuclear baseload power in New Jersey. Most of its revenue comes from PSE&G, at about $10.1 billion. FirstEnergy, valued near $26.3 billion, forecasts data centre load of roughly 25 GW by the second quarter of 2026. It has already contracted 6.4 GW.
SilverEdge cooperative. What to expect from FirstEnergy's next quarterly earnings report. Sohini Mondal Barchart 42 minutes ago With a market cap of $26 billion, FirstEnergy Corp. (FE) is a diversified energy company that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity through its subsidiaries across the United States. Operating through its Distribution, Integrated, and Stand-Alone Transmission segments, the company serves customers in six states with a mix of coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, and solar energy sources. The Akron, Ohio-based company is slated to announce its fiscal Q3 2026 results after the market closes on Tuesday, Oct. 27. Ahead of this event, analysts expect the company to report a profit of $0.94 per share, up 13.3% from $0.83 in the year-ago quarter. It has exceeded or met Wall Street's earnings expectations in the past four quarters. For fiscal 2026, analysts project the utility company to post EPS of $2.74, a rise of 7.5% from $2.55 in fiscal 2025. Moreover, EPS is anticipated to grow 7.7% year-over-year to $2.95 in fiscal 2027. Shares of FirstEnergy have fallen 3.6% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) nearly 16% return. However, the stock has shown a less pronounced decline than the State Street Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF's (XLU) 8.6% drop over the same period. FirstEnergy reported higher Q2 2026 results on Jul. 28, with profit of $288 million, or $0.50 per share, compared with $268 million, or $0.46 per share, a year earlier, driven by rising data center demand and more efficient operations. Data center demand (contracted and pipeline) increased 30% quarter over quarter to 6.4 GW, while demand in West Virginia surged 137% to 4.3 GW, reflecting growing electricity requirements from data centers. The company reaffirmed its full-year core earnings guidance of $2.62 per share - $2.82 per share and its target of 6% - 8% compound annual growth from 2026 to 2030, although adjusted earnings of $0.50 per share fell slightly short of analysts' estimate. Analysts' consensus view on FE stock remains cautiously optimistic, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Out of 16 analysts covering the stock, seven recommend a "Strong Buy," one "Moderate Buy," and eight "Holds." The average analyst price target is $52.62, indicating a potential upside of 16.9% from the current levels.

Head of JobsOhio board to be deposed in federal civil lawsuit against FirstEnergy. 09/29/2026 Discover more Local News Subscription Video News Content Pickaway County News FirstEnergy's headquarters in Akron. (Photo from Google Maps.) The chairman of the JobsOhio board, Josh Rubin, will be deposed Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 in advance of a federal civil trial in which Akron-based FirstEnergy is the defendant, according to court records. In the suit, state pension systems and other investors accuse FirstEnergy of failing to tell them of "an illicit campaign to corrupt high-profile state legislators in order to secure legislation favoring the company." Larry Householder, the former speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for his role in the scheme, which prosecutors called one of the biggest bribery scandals in state history. Ohio Weather Forecasts After a hung jury, FirstEnergy's former top executives face a second state criminal trial over their involvement. Rubin served as an advisor to the executives and then formally signed on as a lobbyist. He and JobsOhio didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Financially struggling FirstEnergy in 2018 and 2019 paid more than $60 million through 501(c)(4) dark money groups to pass and protect a $1.3 billion ratepayer bailout. Gov. Mike DeWine signed the law and briefly defended it as good policy even after the FBI started making arrests in 2020. His administration had numerous connections to FirstEnergy and the legislation, including a legislative affairs director who, as a FirstEnergy lobbyist, started one of the dark-money groups through which the utility funneled $25 million. DeWine's then-lieutenant governor, Jon Husted, was a staunch supporter of the bailout. Discover more School Education News Submit Story Feature Real Estate Listings In 2017, FirstEnergy made a $1 million dark money contribution to an independent political group supporting Husted, although a spokeswoman said it wasn't affiliated with Husted. DeWine's nominee to chair the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Sam Randazzo, received a $4.3 million bribe from FirstEnergy just before his appointment. While working as head of the state utility regulator, Randazzo helped write the bailout legislation. Ohio Weather Forecasts After Randazzo was charged criminally, he became one of two participants in the scandal to die by suicide. Rubin, who is scheduled to be deposed in the civil litigation, is a longtime advisor to DeWine. In September 2023, DeWine made Rubin chairman of JobsOhio, the state's controversial economic development agency. JobsOhio is legally exempt from most open meetings and records laws even though it was created by the legislature, the governor appoints its board, and it leases the state's lucrative liquor franchise for much less than it's worth. JobsOhio has used more than $2 billion in proceeds from the arrangement to make grants and loans to private businesses - including FirstEnergy - in the name of economic development. Rubin's appointment to chair the JobsOhio board is also controversial among good government watchdogs because he is a lobbyist with dozens of clients, including many that are seeking money from JobsOhio. One of his clients, Intel, has received more than $150 million in commitments from JobsOhio and more than $2 billion from DeWine's executive branch, which Intel is paying Rubin to lobby. Before he joined the JobsOhio board, Rubin advised FirstEnergy's top executives. On Dec. 18, 2018, just after they were elected, DeWine and Husted attended a dinner meeting with FirstEnergy CEO Chuck Jones and Vice President Michael Dowling at the Columbus Athletic Club. Rubin, who would within weeks become a FirstEnergy lobbyist, was there. The men discussed Randazzo's suitability to be the state's top regulator of the monopoly industry FirstEnergy was a part of, court proceedings showed. Rubin advised the executives not to tell DeWine that they were going straight from the dinner to meet with Randazzo, the Associated Press reported in February. It was at that meeting at Randazzo's German Village condo that the $4.3 million bribe was negotiated, prosecutors said. An audit performed by the utility commission after the conspiracy had been exposed found that FirstEnergy paid Rubin's lobbying firm, the CJR Group, $300,000 between 2018 and 2019.
