Arizona Co-op Leader to Congress: Coal Is Crucial Part of the Energy Mix

Using coal in the energy mix helps Arizona co-ops meet summer demand, a co-op leader says.

The court’s decision should give co-ops more predictability on project reviews, NRECA says.

The dams supply over 3,000 megawatts of hydropower for 52 electric co-ops in the West.

The rules “jeopardize the reliability of the electric grid,” NRECA CEO Jim Matheson said.

Data centers are typically built quickly—in about two years or less, the NERC report says.

NRECA outlined potential reforms after FEMA issued a request for information in March.

Some regions are at risk of electricity supply shortfalls during extreme weather, NERC said.

Co-ops are starting to receive the tax credits, supporting members’ evolving energy needs.

A diverse energy portfolio is essential to reliability, NRECA CEO Jim Matheson said.

Top issues for co-ops include permitting reform and repealing the EPA power plant rule.
