Power for Tomorrow congratulates Commissioners Laura V. Swett and David LaCerte on FERC appointments

Power for Tomorrow congratulates Commissioners Laura V. Swett and David LaCerte on their appointments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Their leadership comes at a pivotal moment, as electricity demand across the United States continues to climb. Population growth, data centers, and other technologies are all pushing the grid harder than ever. The challenge ahead is clear: how do we build an energy system that is resilient, affordable, and reliable enough to meet this moment?

At Power for Tomorrow, we believe the answer lies in balanced, well-regulated markets. A secure energy future requires an all-of-the-above strategy that includes renewables, nuclear, storage, and natural gas. Each plays a vital role in ensuring the lights stay on, prices stay reasonable, and our economy keeps moving.

Experience shows that deregulated energy markets are falling short. In places like PJM, families and businesses are facing higher bills, blackouts, and delays in building the generation we need. In contrast, regulated utilities in Southeast states, like Georgia and Louisiana, are planning for the future, investing in new infrastructure, and keeping power dependable and affordable.

America’s energy future depends on practical regulation that prioritizes people over speculation, planning over profit, and reliability over ideology. We look forward to working with FERC’s new leadership to advance policies that strengthen the grid and serve the public interest.
