## What it is
RSS `/news/rss/` (10 items); releases at `/news/releases/read/<id>`. Ohio, Indiana, Texas, Virginia large-load agreements.

## Quirks
Feed links are `http://` (redirected). `robots.txt` is 404. Rate-case releases mention data centers in passing → events only.

## Verification
Verified live on 2026-09-11 with `scripts/try-connector.ts` (dry run, nothing persisted): 10 URLs, 4 releases at L1, 3 dated events, 0 projects after the lead-scope guard (2 false positives before), 0 errors.
