Power grid

“Sherrod secured transformational infrastructure investments that are reaching communities across Ohio – grants that will go towards making our roads and bridges safer, upgrading essential clean water infrastructure, updating regional airports, and improving power lines to ensure all Ohioans have reliable access to electricity.”

“Roy Cooper would lower energy and utility costs by ensuring that corporations pay for their fair share of the energy they use instead of passing that cost onto you and modernizing our energy grid.”

“Modernize our energy grid to lower energy costs for consumers. Too much of our grid is old and inefficient. By modernizing parts of it we can increase reliability, create good-paying jobs and lower costs for families.”

“Roy will work to make sure that data centers pay the full cost of the power they use without passing it on to you, and he’d ban utility companies from disconnecting power during dangerous heat or cold. Roy’s plan would lower energy costs by modernizing our energy grid and encouraging the tech companies to build their own energy sources.”

“We will anchor it in massive investment in solar, wind, and battery storage, a modernized smart grid, and the energy efficiency upgrades that put money back in families’ pockets.”

“Strengthen the Texas energy grid: Dedicate greater federal resources to help Texas weatherproof our power grid and update aging infrastructure, without letting energy companies off the hook for contributing their fair share.”

“Mainers deserve electricity that’s reliable, affordable, and clean. But in recent years our utilities have moved far more money to Wall Street investors than they have into regular upkeep of our grid and the workers who maintain it – all while raising costs for ratepayers.”

“James Talarico will weatherproof the grid, lower electric bills, and keep Texas the world’s energy leader with an all-of-the-above strategy that protects good-paying oil and gas jobs and grows wind, solar, and geothermal.”

“Improved the reliability of the Texas power grid by requiring an annual independent audit of weaknesses in grid infrastructure.”

“Require competitive bidding processes for transmission projects instead of handing utility companies lucrative contracts at taxpayer expense. When a nearly half-billion-dollar transmission project is handed to a single utility with no competitive bidding, Kansas ratepayers can end up paying far more than they should. Competitive bidding has been shown to cut these costs by twenty to thirty percent. Politicians on both sides of the aisle should speak out against harmful policies that avoid competitive bidding, like the $493 million project that was handed to Evergy.”

“A bill from Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, to support both the energy and forest products industry in Aroostook County received a public hearing in the Legislature’s Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee on Thursday. The proposal – LD 1913, “An Act To Prohibit Certain Wheeling Charges for the Transmission of Electricity – would prohibit an investor-owned transmission and distribution utility located in an area administered by the Northern Maine Independent System Administrator from charging a person generating or selling electricity for the transmission, or wheeling, of that electricity to or from Canada over the utility’s transmission system.”

“By connecting Aroostook County to the New England power grid, we can attract renewable energy companies to Maine, create good-paying jobs and jump-start economic development in the County, and help the state meet its renewable energy goals”

“Today, the Maine Public Utilities Commission selected the winning transmission and distribution bids for the Northern Maine Renewable Energy Program, a program established by legislation put forward by Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash.”

“On Wednesday, Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, urged the Maine Public Utilities Committee to give final approval to the winning transmission and distribution bids for the Northern Maine Renewable Energy Program.”
