Last week, the OMA issued a new edition of RetoolingOhio to frame up an effort to end deregulation of power generation, a move that would be disastrous for Ohio’s free market in electricity. Utilities have been stoking a scare that electric demand will outstrip electric supply in a few short years leading to widespread reliability concerns. The OMA is among the most vocal advocates for reliable power, but that power also needs to be affordable, illuminating the need for greater transparency in utility regulation. The OMA has been the leading defenders of market-based energy solutions. Read RetoolingOhio and stay engaged in the OMA energy committee. Also, mark your calendars for the Ohio Manufacturers’ Energy Conference on September 19. 5/30/2024
