Advanced Energy United Congratulates Winning Candidates, Calls on Policymakers to Prioritize Affordability and Consumer Choice

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Advanced Energy United congratulates the winners of the midterm elections, from Congress to State Houses across the country.  

Heather O’Neill, President and CEO of Advanced Energy United, released the following statement about the midterm election results: 

“Voters made it resoundingly clear that energy costs are a problem. Now, the winners will be expected to take quick action to lower costs. Meeting that mandate requires ambitious measures to transform the grid. By leveraging the right energy solutions, we can build an energy system that lowers costs and works for consumers.

We’re encouraging policymakers to prioritize affordability and consumer choice. Energy supplies are failing to keep up with fast-growing demand, and global supply chain challenges are driving up costs. State leaders now have an enormous opportunity to achieve energy abundance and make the grid work for consumers by making it easier to build more advanced energy resources and for consumers to choose them for their homes and businesses.

Many incoming and incumbent leaders recognize the power of advanced energy. We look forward to working with state leaders across the country to lower bills and create economic growth.”
