President & CEO at Electric Power Supply Association

Tuesday's U.S. Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources hearing featured representatives from American Electric Power, the Electricity Consumers Resource Council, Micron Technology, and the National Center for Energy Analytics to discuss industry perspectives on demand growth and its implications for the #reliability of the power grid and the #energy expansion. At the hearing, senators and energy stakeholders alike emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced and reliable energy mix, including nuclear, natural gas, and other dispatchable resources alongside renewables of all types, storage, and other developing technologies, to ensure a consistent, reliable, "five 9s" quality power supply. At Electric Power Supply Association, we continue to believe that well-functioning competitive wholesale power markets are the most effective way to ensure production of the power that's needed, without saddling captive customers with the costs of new generating resources - instead putting that risk on investors and shareholders.
