Webinar—Driving Economic Development with Affordable Power
RegisterAbout This Event
As competition for new industrial facilities, data centers, and other large electricity loads intensifies, the cost, reliability, and speed of electricity delivery are emerging as critical factors in state and regional competitiveness. Energy affordability is no longer just a consumer issue—it is a central consideration for economic developers, site selectors, and the companies making location decisions worth billions of dollars in capital investment.
This webinar will explore how states are thinking about electricity rates, grid reliability, and speed to deployment for new large loads. Panelists will discuss what energy offices and economic developers can do together to make the underlying utility and regulatory dynamics more legible and actionable—and how proactive strategies around electricity affordability can become a genuine competitive advantage.
