About us
The Electric Power Supply Association is the voice of America's competitive power suppliers, working to bring customers the benefits of energy competition. Our member companies own and operate nearly 150,000 megawatts of power generation capacity from a diverse set of resources including natural gas, wind, solar, nuclear, and coal. They’re the owners of power generation plants and storage technologies that convert resources into electricity and store it for use when needed—and they compete to sell that energy to utilities, homes, and businesses at the lowest possible cost.

💡 "Snitchler said there is a "misalignment" between the aspirational goals of policymakers for cheap, low-carbon electricity and the operational realities of electric and natural gas systems." EPSA President and CEO Todd Snitchler mentioned in CSG Midwest recap where he shares the importance of working with state regulators and policymakers to achieve energy goals.

💲 High energy costs are the result of policy decisions, writes EPSA President and CEO Todd Snitchler in The Baltimore Sun. PJM power prices are skyrocketing in the face of rising electric demand because policymakers have pushed dispatchable plants into retirement and blocked construction of new generation capacity and transmission. "State policymakers, who hold full control over which generation resources are built in their state under the Federal Power Act, have explicitly encouraged the retirement of more inexpensive, dispatchable generation sources like natural gas and coal. Since 2018, Maryland has retired 6,000 megawatts (MW) of power and added only 1,600 MW to replace it." Going forward, we need realistic policy approaches that allow competitive power markets to deliver reliable energy solutions cost-effectively and efficiently.

Thanks to the The Baltimore Sun for publishing my op ed on the recent PJM Interconnection auction and the impact of state policy choices. Consumers are now in a position to understand the impact of policymakers’ choices as the system evolves. At the same time, it is beyond time for policymakers to accept responsibility for their policy choices and stop playing the blame game. The policy choices are theirs and they should understand the impact and accept responsibility for them - not seek to point the finger of higher costs on grid operators. The system is evolving - but there is a cost, and states need to own the cost of their policy choices. In the mean time, grid stakeholders are left with the critical job of supporting grid reliability in partnership with grid operators and other stakeholders. Reliability isn’t negotiable. We will be more successful, reliable, and sustainable when state policymakers own up to their impact on system costs and reliabiiity so there is transparency for their constituents. As has been the message all along, the solution will require cooperation and a reality based approach to ensuring a reliable energy expansion. #reliability #power #affordability #realitycheck

🔋 ⚡ #BatteryStorage is critical to power grid reliability, filling gaps for #renewable generation when the 🌬 wind isn't blowing or the 🌤 sun isn't shining. EPSA members are leaders in developing this essential technology. Congrats to Invenergy on reaching this milestone in Arizona. #energy #energyexpansion #cleanenergy #AZ #powergrid #energytransition
We are pleased to announce that the El Sol Energy Storage Center, our 10th battery storage project in Arizona, has reached commercial operations. The 50-megawatt addition of El Sol increases Invenergy’s storage portfolio in Arizona to nearly 200 megawatts. The importance of battery storage for Arizona communities has been amplified by the extreme heat waves this summer and the record-breaking demand for energy in the state as residents try to stay cool.

⚡ EPSA members are leading the pack as Texas looks to add ~10 GW of dispatchable natural gas generation to enhance ERCOT reliability. Competitive Power Ventures, Calpine, LS Power, NRG Energy, and Vistra Corp. are among those selected by the Public Utility Commission of Texas to advance in the selection process to receive Texas Energy Fund loans. The EPSA member company projects selected total nearly 3,200 MW. As Sonal Patel writes in POWER magazine, these investments will come at a time of great need driven not just by hot temperatures, but rising demand from large industrial projects, electrification, data centers and cryptocurrency mining operations- "On Aug. 20, the Texas grid operator recorded a new summer peak demand of 85,559 MW, surpassing the previous high of 85,508 MW set on August 10, 2023." #energy #Texas #ERCOT #loadgrowth #powergeneration #powermarkets #powergrid
