“How can investments in resiliency improve a utility’s ESG score, and potentially, how could undergrounding current overhead T&D lines improve ESG?”

“I don’t talk about transportation electrification. I talk about electrification of mobility. Because it’s not just cars. It’s airplanes, it’s scooters. In Norway, you have ships being electrified.”

“We’ve cut over $900 million of costs out of our business over the last eight years to be able to go that long without a rate conversation. We had to come forward.”

“We just announced a second of two rate decreases. We’re having rate decreases, and that’s a rare thing in the industry these days, to be able to announce an energy transformation of this magnitude, while reducing costs.”

NERC CEO Jim Robb and ReliabilityFirst CEO Tim Gallagher appear on “reliability issues and the transforming grid: a regional focus.”

“Over the years, USEA has built tools and data to assess the market and network in this region that are state-of-the-art and ensure that we can reliably anticipate the impacts of alternative future conditions.”
