Energy Solutions: Can the Grid Keep Up?

How does a historic rise in electricity demand coincide with summer power needs?

In this special summer reliability roundtable, EPSA President and CEO Todd Snitchler brings together leading power industry experts from across the United States to discuss the outlook for electric reliability, affordability, and infrastructure investment during a period of unprecedented demand growth.

Representatives from New York, PJM, New England, California, Texas, and the broader Western region examine how rapidly expanding electricity needs—driven by AI, data centers, electrification, and economic growth—are reshaping power markets and challenging long-term planning assumptions.

The panel explores summer reliability forecasts, generation investment, resource adequacy, electricity prices, transmission expansion, cost allocation, and the role competitive power markets can play in meeting future demand while protecting consumers.

Topics covered include:

⚡ Summer reliability outlooks across major U.S. power markets

⚡ Data centers, AI, and accelerating electricity demand growth

⚡ Resource adequacy and power generation investment

⚡ Rising electricity costs and customer affordability

⚡ Transmission infrastructure and grid modernization

⚡ Competitive electricity markets and reliability

⚡ Cost allocation and who pays for future growth
