Utility Dive published this commentary by AEE Director Caitlin Marquis and Electricity Consumers Resource Council President and CEO Devin Hartman on a consumer-focused approach to reliability and resilience in energy policy, based on the evolving characteristics of the power industry. See the entire Utility Dive article here.

Throughout all of this, the consumer voice has largely been ignored, instead overruled by incumbent electricity generators and political interests.
