PJM's 2026/27 capacity auction cleared at the cap of $329.17/MW-day — a 22% spike. Bills land June 2026. Data centers drove ~40% of that $16.4B cost. CAISO's Extended Day-Ahead Market launches today. Same owner playbook works in all three regions — here's the 90-day version.

Four 2026 events collapsed embodied carbon from a next-cycle disclosure problem into a current-quarter asset-value problem. GRESB scores it. Cushman quantifies a ~37% asset-value differential. LEED v5 mandates GWP. Taiwan carbon fee starts. The 90-day playbook.
Q1 2026 saw $3.3B flow into proptech, up 64% YoY. The real signal: three AI platform layers investors are backing — Runwise ($55M energy OS), Visitt ($22M ops), Cambio ($18M capital intelligence). Here's how to evaluate each.
PropTech VC funding surged to $1.7B in Q1 2026, up 176% YoY. AI-driven building operations and sustainability compliance are the hottest categories.
