Join the National Council on Electricity Policy (NCEP) for a four-part webinar series as we discuss how states are approaching load growth. This series is open to the public and may be shared broadly.

According to the Department of Energy, U.S. electricity demand is forecasted to increase by 15.8% by 2029 due to data center expansions, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, domestic manufacturing growth, and electrification of different sectors including transportation. As states around the nation respond, the National Council on Electricity Policy’s load growth webinar series helps its member state agencies work together to identify the benefits and costs of these expected loads, share examples of tools and strategies for managing risks and balancing speed and engagement, and look for opportunities to improve state agency processes around load growth.

The NCEP is a collaborative forum for state-level electricity decision-makers to share perspectives and learn from one another. NCEP focuses on the impact of pressing energy system issues on electricity policy and electricity customers, how different state decision-makers' roles influence their approaches, and how federal policies, regulations, and priorities affect state actions. All state officials and staff with roles that impact the energy system are considered members of NCEP, including representatives from state utility commissions, state energy offices, consumer advocate offices, state legislatures, governors’ offices, air quality agencies, and others.
