In this episode, EPSA Chairman and Vistra Corp. President and CEO Jim Burke sits down with Todd Snitchler to debrief the major energy events leading into 2023—Winter Stom Elliot and rising cyber and physical threats only being the beginning—and what’s ahead as the new year kicks off. They talk all things competitive markets, the role of natural gas in the energy transition, EPSA advocacy priorities for a new Congress and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and Vistra’s plans for advancing clean, reliable, and affordable energy in the new year.
“Competition and competitive markets enable customers to see price signals and to actually respond... The competitive market framework should provide these price signals to both suppliers and customers. That helps keep a grid in balance.”
JIM BURKE, VISTRA CORP.
