About Us
Power for Tomorrow (PFT) is a nonpartisan trade association advocating for the benefits of well-regulated electric utilities that deliver reliable and affordable power to customers.
We are the nation’s leading resource for research, analysis, and commentary on the advantages of sensible utility regulation.
Founding Story Power for Tomorrow was launched in response to the devastating power outages caused by Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, resulting in 246 deaths and nearly $300 billion in economic losses. This tragedy was largely the outcome of the deregulated electric system run by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), where independent power producers have no obligation to serve and no incentive to provide reliable power. This is in contrast to regulated states, where utilities own and operate electric generation with an obligation to serve their customers and an incentive to provide that power reliably.
The market failures in Texas exposed the need for a voice dedicated to educating stakeholders on the importance of a well-regulated electric system. Since 2021, Power for Tomorrow has been that voice. We advocate for sensible utility regulation that protects customers.
