The Price of Power: Understanding Energy Affordability

What goes into the price we pay for electricity, and who makes the decisions that shape our bills? Join Matthew Rolnick, Senior Regulatory Solutions Architect at HData and former staff member at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Maine Public Utilities Commission, for a conversation about energy affordability. Matthew will help unpack what contributes to electricity costs, how state and federal regulators influence what we pay, and how energy policy decisions affect household bills. Together, we’ll explore what affordability means in practice and the challenges of ensuring reliable, affordable power as our energy needs change.
