The PUF team has been asking some of the industry's leaders, what's in store in this new year, 2022?  Southern Company's CEO and Oncor's COO told us what to look for this year, at their companies and industry-wide, in January's Public Utilities Fortnightly. Arizona Public Service's CEO and Eversource's COO tell us what to look for in this issue of PUF.

The following conversation with APS's CEO, Jeff Guldner, gets kinda inspiring in a few spots. Like when he says, coal is personal to me, and talks about his grandfather and mom from Wyoming coal country, and about how coal played an outsized role in building up the state of Arizona. And, as he sees it, our collective obligation to rural coal-dependent communities. 

Or like when Guldner says, we had a troubleman who gave up his ball cap and a water bottle to a homeless person because he saw that person under a bridge and the sun was shining in, and talks about redirecting the corporate culture to empowering everyone to speak up and act up on behalf of customers, and about how responsible his company is to helping accelerate the economic boom the state is now enjoying. If you drive up the interstate here, Guldner says with evident pride, you'll see twenty-five cranes around the TSMC semiconductor project.

Read on, and see what he sees coming this year in the Grand Canyon State. And for that matter, around the country.
