Description
                                    How do energy policies from different U.S. administrations actually impact customers—especially those with low to middle incomes? In this panel, leaders from APS, PacifiCorp, and PGE compare the realities of evolving policy mandates and market signals. From offshore wind bans to fracking, EV incentives, and carbon commitments, panelists will discuss what matters most to customers.Â
Session Takeaways:
- Explore how current and emerging energy policies affect electricity delivery.
- Define the needs of low- to middle-income (LMI) customers.
- Recommend policy measures to support LMI customer affordability.
