Strategy & Planning

“Most of Alaska’s rural areas are served by small, isolated, and high-cost electric systems that are only connected by a statewide energy policy of power cost equalization to help reduce rural electric costs.”

“This year has brought dynamic changes to the global energy landscape, bringing both new challenges and new opportunities to the clean energy transition. Our monthly columns provided key insights into the trends and innovations shaping the future of electricity worldwide.”

“What makes nuclear power uniquely suited to meet growing energy demand? It is the only solution that delivers efficient, clean, consistent baseload power, while also strengthening national security.”

“Ohio recognized the need to act and clean up not only the industrial waste but the unchecked discharge of raw sewage. What could no longer be ignored was the need for federal standards, oversight, and consequences. Environmental cleanup was not yet comprehensive, nor a national priority.”

“With the combination of a complete RPS, that moves to total fruition at one hundred percent renewable energy, and going beyond net neutral on carbon emissions, Hawaii has one of the more robust energy policies anywhere.”

“100% of generation should come from renewable resources by 2045. There’re definitions of what’s considered renewable generation. We’re a finite land mass. There’s no inter-island cable. Each island needs to figure out the right mix.”

Hawaii is undergoing a major transformation to move from a state that was almost completely reliant on imported fossil fuels to one powered by clean, renewable energy. Hawaii was the first state to commit to one hundred percent clean, renewable energy for electricity. PUF’s Paul Kjellander talks with Hawaii PUC Chair Leo Asuncion and the State’s Chief Energy Officer Mark Glick.

PUF is now powered by SEPA. Together, we envision an exciting journey ahead and the unlimited possibilities of what we can accomplish together on behalf of both our members and our industry.

“We are making large investments in the electric grid, both transmission and distribution, as well as a significant investment in new and clean generation.”

“We have over $5 billion in proposed projects pending before state regulators – the largest total generation projects I’ve ever seen in Wisconsin. Economic development is strong in Wisconsin, and for us to meet the energy needs, we need to build the additional capacity and the distribution and transmission.”
