Rising Power Demand

Rising Power Demand: Meeting the Challenge with Competitive Electricity Markets

As America’s economy grows and electrification accelerates—from transportation to manufacturing to AI-driven data centers—the nation’s demand for electricity is rising at a pace not seen in decades. Meeting this surge in power demand is not optional, it’s essential to support economic growth, public safety, and the evolving needs of consumers.

Ensuring that electricity remains reliable and affordable in this new era requires innovative, scalable solutions. Competitive power markets have a proven track record of delivering these solutions efficiently. By fostering open access, investment diversity, and price transparency, these markets attract private capital to deploy advanced, cleaner, and more flexible generation technologies—precisely when and where they’re needed.

The Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA) champions the value of these markets in rising to the challenge, and our member companies are deploying the private capital needed to meet the moment. With a focus on accountability, performance, and cost-effectiveness, competitive market structures ensure that Americans benefit from a resilient grid capable of supporting long-term growth.
