Grand Vision: Past, Present, Future

Just across the river from the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, the MARC 2023 conference takes place during the most active era of federal energy policy since President Ford was in the White House. Even with unprecedented federal investments through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, the role of state utility regulation and regulators has never been more important in overseeing the electric grid, pipelines, water infrastructure, and other critical assets.

In responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and the coming challenges of climate change, we are at pivotal moment in shaping the future of the energy and water industry and the role of regulation and regulators. We must address our present needs while looking to a changing landscape on the horizon and this is why we must start “Building the New Normal”. We have already begun to see unprecedented investments from the recently enacted Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act which will provide much-needed funding into our grid, pipelines, and other critical infrastructure.
