Electric Cooperative Leaders Push for Federal Policy Reforms to Ensure Reliable Power
Electric cooperative leaders are set to meet in Washington, D.C., to advocate for federal policies that support reliable and affordable power. Representing not-for-profit utilities serving 42 million Americans, these leaders emphasize the need for smart energy policies amid increasing threats to grid reliability. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation has warned of worsening grid reliability due to power plant retirements and rising demand. The cooperatives are urging reforms in infrastructure financing, disaster response, and federal permitting to address these challenges.
