A New Direction…Maybe?

We are a few months into the new administration, and it is clear things are heading in “A New Direction.” There are still many unanswered questions about how broad reaching those changes will be and whether they will trickle down to the state level, and hence the “…Maybe”. While we wade through this uncertainty, our industry will do what we have always done in these times: go to work as the demand for more and more electricity grows rapidly, mainly thanks to the surge in Artificial Intelligence and Data Centers.

Our industry will rise to meet that challenge and supply consistent and constant power to meet the demand. If given the opportunity, our industry can and will fuel an evolution to build America’s industrial might and support the new era of data processing. Pennsylvania and our companies can lead the way, all while continuing to make environmental protection a top priority – not because of a mandate – but because it is what comes from free-enterprising progress.

PIOGA presents “A New Direction … Maybe?” and all-day conference to help the industry in Pennsylvania head in the right direction.

Rivers Casino, 777 Casino Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15233
