The composition of tomorrow’s electricity generation mix dominates many of the energy policy debates held today. Reliability and affordability must remain prominent factors in the electricity sector transition already underway, but given the challenge posted by climate change, attention must be paid to the environmental impact of electricity sources. Efforts must be undertaken at the national, state, and local levels to facilitate energy innovation and company-driven and federally-sponsored research and development activities.
We the undersigned, representing hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs, write to request that The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2014 (S. 2262) be considered by the full Senate as soon as possible.
Being in the electricity industry for over 40 years, FirstEnergy president and CEO Anthony Alexander has seen many challenges, but he told an audience at the U.S. Chamber’s CEO Leadership Series: [T]he challenges we now face from government interference in the electric business are far more
The Energy Institute supports both the process and the product related to Reliability Standard EOP-010-1 (Geomagnetic Disturbance Operations), and thus supports the standard’s proposed adoption.
Washington, D.C., March 6, 2014 – The Partnership for a Better Energy Future (PBEF) today applauded passage of H.R. 3826, the “Electricity Security and Affordability Act.” This bipartisan legislation will require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set a more reasonable path forward for

Since the rise in influence of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in the 1960s, energy has occupied the minds of policymakers. Energy is recognized as among the top challenges to our nation’s future prosperity, national security, and quality of life.
Dear Chairman Whitfield and Ranking Member Rush: The undersigned organizations strongly support H.R. 3826, the “Electricity Security and Affordability Act.” H.R. 3826 would ensure that the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations are done in a reasonable manner that
Solving our energy challenges is a long-term proposition; however, we can achieve immediate economic and environmental benefits by better harnessing the energy we unintentionally waste each day. Putting into practice more robust energy effi ciency programs is a crucial component of our nation’s energy security. We can free up significant amounts of energy for more productive purposes and eliminate unnecessary expenditures on the part of both businesses and consumers.
