Why are electricity prices continuing to rise? And what does government policy have to do with it? In this highlight episode, Robbie Orvis, Senior Director of Modeling and Analysis at Energy Innovation, breaks down the real-world impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the rollback of clean energy tax credits, and the growing demand from AI data centers.
Listen in to learn why these policy changes are reshaping renewable energy investment, how energy modelling helps predict market outcomes, and what businesses should expect as electricity prices become increasingly volatile over the coming decade. Robbie also explains why rising energy costs aren’t just about power generation, as well as how transmission and distribution infrastructure, supply chain constraints, and rapidly growing electricity demand are influencing prices across the U.S. Whether you’re a CFO, business owner, policymaker, or sustainability leader, this conversation offers practical insights into managing energy uncertainty and making smarter long-term investment decisions.
