Just to note, my entry was around 6.92 so I’m currently underwater on my position but this development cannot be overstated.

FERC just put out the most aggressive grid reform action in like a generation and hit Show Cause Orders to all six grid operators at once. 8 days after KEEL closed their $458M note raise and 5 days before Russell 3000 inclusion. No damn way this perfect coincidence is just that.

Panther Creek. The flagship we’re all betting on. Grid position just got a shit ton more valuable because FERC is cleaning out all the fake projects clogging the interconnection queue. Less competition for real queue positions means the ones that exist are worth more.

BYONG framework they introduced — Bring Your Own New Generation. Basically FERC is now saying if you pair your data center load with nearby generation and get studied together you can skip a ton of the expensive grid upgrades that are slowing everyone down. Panther Creek is a literal former coal plant with existing gas infrastructure already plugged into PJM. Like that site was made for this. Like they didn’t just pivot from bitcoin mining as if they saw the writing on the wall and said oh shit look at all this convertible grid technology we can shoehorn (at the very least) into our grid to accelerate our timeline.

And their CFO spent 16 years running North American Power and Infrastructure at Lazard. He didn’t close half a billion in institutional debt 8 days before this by accident. The guys who upsized that note from $350M to $458M knew.
None of the analyst targets reflect any of this. They were all set before June 18.

So bullish. NFA.

A Shooting Almost Every Month This Year

This is huge.
