“We knew early on that Cash had this special gift of influence,” Chase shares. “He is bold and lives his life on purpose. He lights up any room he rolls into! The phrase, ‘my resilience is greater than life’s resistance,’ speaks to Cash’s tenacious attitude towards life. Cash’s adversity and the challenges he faces never stop him from accomplishing his goals and desires.”

Born with spina bifida, Cash’s journey has shaped the Harris family into powerful advocates for accessibility, empathy, and perseverance. What began as sharing their daily life online evolved into a platform for awareness, especially during Spina Bifida Awareness Month, as the family realized how many others were walking similar paths. Their openness and positivity have inspired countless families to find strength through their own challenges.

This mission of service led to the creation of the Harris Family Accessibility Assist, a nonprofit providing therapy, mobility aids, and adaptive equipment for children with disabilities—filling the gaps left by limited insurance coverage.

Power and utility deals hit a record $205 billion in the first half of 2026

Power and utility deals hit a record $205 billion in the first half of 2026

Power and utilities M&A hit a record $205 billion across 92 deals in the first half of 2026, Deloitte reports. NextEra Energy's $124 billion Dominion Energy merger led the way. PwC says buyers are paying for gas, grid and dispatchable assets that add capacity faster than new builds. Who pays for grid upgrades is now the open question for data centers and large loads.

  • 01Two megadeals, NextEra Energy's $124 billion merger with Dominion Energy and the $48 billion AES take-private, drove Deloitte's record $205 billion first-half total, according to Deloitte, so the headline figure says more about the largest players than about the 92-deal field as a whole.
  • 02PwC says buyers now favor assets with contracted offtake or direct exposure to large-load customers, alongside those with clear cost recovery, which makes contracted cash flows and who pays for grid upgrades questions a data center or plant operator should raise at its next utility meeting.
  • 03Where a jurisdiction assigns large-load costs (directly to data centers, through general rates, or through new contractual models) is becoming a valuation input for acquirers, so the tariff dockets being drafted now will shape both the power bill and who owns the utility.

India Order Could Free Up 15.7 GW of Renewable Grid Access

India Order Could Free Up 15.7 GW of Renewable Grid Access

India's Central Electricity Regulatory Commission ordered on July 11 that renewable developers surrender transmission rights or provide higher bank guarantees if their projects are not generating power, a change Reuters reported could free up roughly 15.7 gigawatts of grid connectivity. Reuters separately reported that coal still supplies about 70% of India's electricity generation as of an August 17 report.

  • 01CERC order requires renewable developers to either surrender transmission rights or post additional bank guarantees for non-generating projects.
  • 02Approximately 15.7 GW of grid connectivity held by awarded projects that are not generating power could be freed up; surrendered capacity would first go to existing applicants in the same substation cluster, with any remainder auctioned.
  • 03Developers and buyers evaluating projects in constrained substation clusters should verify current CERC connectivity status and guarantee backing, as auction-based allocation may alter cost and timing dynamics.
