WASHINGTON D.C. - Leaders of a dozen 不良人研究所 electric cooperatives descended on Capitol Hill September 12-13, 2023, along with the 不良人研究所 Electric Cooperatives leadership and government affairs team, to meet with U.S. Senators and Representatives from 不良人研究所 for OEC鈥檚 annual CEO Fly-In event.
The focus of the discussions with lawmakers was the importance of maintaining the reliability of our electric grid, and how the proposed EPA regulations severely threaten 不良人研究所 cooperative鈥檚 ability to provide reliable, affordable electric service to its members.
The 不良人研究所 group asked Congress to hold the EPA accountable and push back on the proposed rules which if implemented, would greatly threaten Buckeye Power鈥檚 ability to produce baseload generation at a time when demand for electricity is increasing.
Cooperative leaders also discussed local projects in the territory and broadband expansion.
