Dear Steve,
Congrats on your return to the Department of Energy and for the recent confirmation of Secretary Wright! We are so happy to see you taking on this key leadership position.
APPA is kindly requesting a meeting to discuss the work underway between APPA, and various project offices with DOE, which has recently been put on hold. This work directly aligns with Secretary Wright's priorities of grid security, and customer affordability. We would like the opportunity to discuss this work and how we could continue working on President Trump's priorities.
By way of background, APPA is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 2,000 towns and cities nationwide. Public power utilities are in every state except Hawaii. They collectively serve over 54 million people in 49 states and five U.S. territories, and account for 15 percent of all sales of electric energy (kilowatt-hours) to end-use consumers. Public power utilities generally are load-serving entities, with the primary goal of providing the communities they serve with safe, reliable electric service at the lowest reasonable cost, consistent with good environmental stewardship. This orientation aligns the interests of the utilities with the long-term interests of the residents and businesses in their communities.
Please let me know a date and time which works for you. The program offices include OE, CESER and FE and work at the National Labs, specifically, PNNL and ANL.
Look forward to connecting.
Warm regards, Adrienne
