With increasing data-center buildout, utilities are making massive natural gas investments in southeastern Wisconsin, raising objections from customer and climate advocates. Canary Media discusses Wisconsin Electric Power Co.’s request for new gas plants with advanced energy experts, including United’s Emma Heins, who explains why the utility should explore clean energy solutions to meet growing energy demand.

In an op-ed for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, United’s Emma Heins outlines how advanced energy resources provide efficient, reliable and low-cost alternatives to expensive fossil fuel generation. She further emphasizes that state leaders and utilities need to leverage clean energy solutions in order to keep energy costs affordable for residents and businesses looking to expand in Wisconsin.
