A critical moment for affordability
More than two dozen major companies working with Ceres are calling on state policymakers around the country to modernize the energy system and tackle rising energy prices.
Why? Energy demand is growing for the first time in years, as AI data centers, new manufacturing, and electrified transportation options all vie for space on the grid. That’s not an inherently bad thing, but without a well-rounded response from policymakers, new demand will continue driving higher costs where the grid is congested and constrained.
Clean energy is the fastest and cheapest way to meet rising power demand and address affordability, but the U.S. power grid is constrained by aging infrastructure, affecting both businesses and consumers. States that modernize their energy systems will be better positioned to grow their economies and attract business investment.
Ceres is working in state legislatures around the country to advocate for policies that will address affordability challenges by expanding clean energy and keeping costs in check.
