As electricity demand accelerates, driven by data centers, domestic manufacturing, and other large new loads, states face growing pressure to expand power supply while keeping costs in check. At the same time, recent federal policy shifts have increased uncertainty around the durability of clean electricity and manufacturing incentives, elevating the importance of state-led action.
In this virtual briefing, experts from RMI and Rhodium Group will present new modeling on how industrial policies can meet rising electricity demand while catalyzing private investment and job creation. Using Southeastern states as a regional case study, the session will highlight the scale of new power capacity, investment, and employment these policies could unlock, how policies affect electricity prices and grid dynamics, and what the results imply for how states can implement policy within realistic budget and fiscal constraints.
