OVERVIEW
America’s electricity demand is surging—and our grid isn’t ready. The Council sees this as an inflection point: an opportunity to build a larger, cleaner, and more dynamic electricity system that delivers secure, reliable, and affordable power. With the right policies, we can modernize our grid, deploy more clean energy to meet rising demand, and pull forward the next generation of energy technologies.
