“We know that when a manufacturer or industry is looking at a location, they’re considering what the energy rates are.”

“With PowerForward, it was an opportunity to put a bit of a fingerprint on the energy industry.”

“We want to provide a more efficient, robust, and opportunity-rich infrastructure here, particularly on the electricity side.”

“The main purpose of PowerForward is to put together guidelines to move the state in the same direction as opposed to a lot of different directions.”

“We have changed the culture here at the agency about how we think of innovation and how we think of investment. That is not easy to do.”

PUF’s Steve Mitnick with Chair Asim Haque, Vice-Chair Beth Trombold, Commissioners Dan Conway, Larry Friedeman and Tom Johnson; and Bethany Allen, Hisham Choueiki, Angela Hawkins, Jeff Jones, Alan Martin, Howard Petricoff, Greg Price, Kristina Schaefer, Tammy Turkenton, John Williams.

Joe Paparello and I were so impressed with the power of the PUF platform — for opinion, commentary and debate — that we bought it.
