From Pilot to Proof: New Report Details 12 Months of America's Largest DLR Deployment
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Great River Energy and Heimdall Power today released the 12-month results of the nation's largest dynamic line rating (DLR) deployment in Grid Optimization Gets Real: One Year Inside America's Largest DLR Deployment, a new report featuring real data, proven strategies, and field-tested best practices for scaling high-value DLR. 'One year later, we've gained real, operational value—not just theoretical gains—and a solid foundation for extending that value across more of our grid.' The project, which spans 10 transmission lines and 175 miles of monitored grid, highlights the real-world benefits of DLR; benefits that are especially critical in an era of rising demand, aging infrastructure, and increasingly extreme weather. In the first year, Great River Energy unlocked up to 63% more transmission capacity during peak demand. 'DLR has promised more capacity for decades, but we needed to know if it could actually deliver for our system, under real conditions,' said Michael Craig, Manager of Energy and Distribution Management Systems at Great River Energy. 'One year later, we've gained real, operational value—not just theoretical gains—and a solid foundation for extending that value across more of our grid.' The report outlines how Great River Energy scaled Heimdall Power's end-to-end DLR solution—using 50 physical and 37 virtual line-based sensor units called Neurons ™ and a cloud-based analytics platform—to deliver measurable value to its 26 member-owner cooperatives and 1.7 million customers. Highlights include: Expert analysis of 12 months of field-validated data, including: Estimated savings of $30,000 during one avoided congestion event in July 2024. Project-wide savings estimated at $3.175 million. A self-assessment tool to evaluate DLR readiness. Replicable insights into building a business case for DLR. A real-world comparison of DLR vs. ambient adjusted ratings (AAR). A five-point checklist for avoiding 'death by pilot.' A practical introduction to line studies, including the unique factors that shaped Great River Energy's sensor deployment strategy. Clear guidance on accounting for limiting elements, defining realistic ROI, and aligning with regulatory expectations and security protocols. The report also addresses a key barrier to DLR adoption: Oversimplified metrics that risk misrepresenting the technology's value. 'We've all heard '40% average capacity gains,' but DLR's real impact is more nuanced,' said Tom Cleaver, Vice President, Heimdall Power. 'It's not just about averages: It's about delivering capacity when and where it's needed most.' Download the full report now at Great River Energy, Maple Grove, Minnesota, is a not-for-profit wholesale electric power cooperative that provides electricity to member-owner distribution cooperatives, serving more than 1.7 million member-consumers.

Cotality: Slower Home Price Growth Could Open Doors for More Buyers
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cotality™, a leader in property information, analytics, and data-enabled solutions, released its Home Price Index™ for June 2025 today. June saw home price growth remain below 2%, indicating a continued market slowdown. 'Slowing price growth and increased for-sale inventories are gradually improving affordability, which has recently been at its lowest levels in more than 30 years. These changes are creating new opportunities for potential homebuyers." -Dr. Selma Hepp Share Housing markets in the Sun Belt have seen particularly noticeable declines, while the Midwest and the Northeast are seeing seasonal price gains that align with pre-pandemic trends. The Northeast has continued recording strong price growth as compared to the rest of the country. Connecticut, New Jersey, and Rhode Island topped the charts this month, posting 7.8%, 7.2%, and 6.6% growth, respectively. While most of the areas are experiencing a slowdown in annual appreciation, home price appreciation in New Jersey has accelerated in recent months. Similarly, Hawaii and Kansas are appreciating at a faster pace than in April of this year, and a few other states, including North Dakota, Indiana, and Maine, are seeing a similar trend. In addition to the Northeast, the Midwest continues to rank high with robust price growth as the region boasts the highest affordability nationwide. 'Markets demonstrating strong fundamentals — such as those in West Virginia — where affordability remains attractive and domestic in-migration continues, are likely to see continued home price growth,' explained Cotality Chief Economist Dr. Selma Hepp. 'Slowing price growth and increased for-sale inventories are gradually improving affordability, which has recently been at its lowest levels in more than 30 years. These changes are creating new opportunities for potential homebuyers who were previously unable to enter the market due to high prices. But the extent to which buyers can enter the market is influenced by the stability of the labor market and the absence of major layoffs.' Even though the housing market is seeing a slowdown in price increases, prices are still rising. This month's median sales price for a single-family home is $403,000. Still, price growth is now under the rate of inflation, which means that relative prices are inching closer to affordability and have laid the foundation for a buyers' market going forward. 'With mortgage rates remaining elevated and concerns about a slowing U.S. economy, subdued demand and downward pressure on home prices is expected to persist, particularly in regions where prices have already decelerated or where recent appreciation has significantly limited local affordability. Additionally, greater price pressures are evident in markets with notable inventory increases, such as the Washington D.C. metro area and Denver, Colorado.' The next Cotality Home Price Index will be released on September 2, featuring data for July 2025. For ongoing housing trends and data, visit the Cotality Insights blog: Methodology The Cotality HPI ™ is built on industry-leading public record, servicing and securities real-estate databases and incorporates more than 45 years of repeat-sales transactions for analyzing home price trends. Generally released on the first Tuesday of each month with an average five-week lag, the Cotality HPI is designed to provide an early indication of home price trends by market segment and for the Single-Family Combined tier, representing the most comprehensive set of properties, including all sales for single-family attached and single-family detached properties. The indices are fully revised with each release and employ techniques to signal turning points sooner. The Cotality HPI provides measures for multiple market segments, referred to as tiers, based on property type, price, time between sales, loan type (conforming vs. non-conforming) and distressed sales. Broad national coverage is available from the national level down to ZIP Code, including non-disclosure states. Cotality HPI Forecasts ™ are based on a two-stage, error-correction econometric model that combines the equilibrium home price—as a function of real disposable income per capita—with short-run fluctuations caused by market momentum, mean-reversion, and exogenous economic shocks like changes in the unemployment rate. With a 30-year forecast horizon, Cotality HPI Forecasts project Cotality HPI levels for two tiers — Single-Family Combined (both attached and detached) and Single-Family Combined Excluding Distressed Sales. As a companion to the Cotality HPI Forecasts, Stress-Testing Scenarios align with Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) national scenarios to project five years of home prices under baseline, adverse and severely adverse scenarios at state, metropolitan areas and ZIP Code levels. The forecast accuracy represents a 95% statistical confidence interval with a +/- 2% margin of error for the index. About Market Risk Indicators Market Risk Indicators are a subscription-based analytics solution that provide monthly updates on the overall health of housing markets across the country. Cotality data scientists combine world-class analytics with detailed economic and housing data to help determine the likelihood of a housing bubble burst in 392 major metros and all 50 states. Market Risk Indicators is a multi-phase regression model that provides a probability score (from 1 to 100) on the likelihood of two scenarios per metro: a >10% price reduction and a ≤ 10% price reduction. The higher the score, the higher the risk of a price reduction. About the Market Condition Indicators As part of the Cotality HPI and HPI Forecasts offerings, Market Condition Indicators are available for all metropolitan areas and identify individual markets as overvalued, at value or undervalued. These indicators are derived from the long-term fundamental values, which are a function of real disposable income per capita. Markets are labeled as overvalued if the current home price indexes exceed their long-term values by greater than 10% and undervalued where the long-term values exceed the index levels by greater than 10%.
