Black hills: Black Hills and NorthWestern Energy announced on Tuesday their decision to merge, forming a $15.4 billion regulated electric and natural gas utility. This merger aims to enhance their capability to invest in grid infrastructure and address the increasing power demand in the United States. According to Radio Television Brunei, U.S. utilities are in a race to expand as electricity consumption reaches unprecedented levels. This surge is attributed to energy-intensive data centers that support artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, along with increased residential and commercial usage.
