Thank you @TheKeystoneCtr for having me at the Keystone Energy Board, where I recently joined a discussion on affordability.

We’re excited that CEBA SVP of Policy, @NidhiJThakar, has joined the @TheKeystoneCtr Energy Board as a Board Member.

As the Board digs deeper into the factors impacting energy affordability in 2026, it’s crucial that energy buyers have a strong voice in conversations about markets, grid investment, and reliability. Excited to see Nidhi and CEBA at the table.
