Oklahoma Corporation Commission Chair Kim David says there’s a strong reason why she and other regulators recently received recommendations from two major utilities and an electric grid regarding the future of the state’s electricity generation challenges.
“Recent load shedding events, or forced power blackouts, in Louisiana, New Mexico and even across the Atlantic in Spain serve as urgent reminders that no region, no matter how developed, is immune to the growing strains of our electrical infrastructure,” she wrote in a “Your Turn” opinion piece in the Sunday Oklahoman.
She calls it a “troubling trend” and went on to declare that such blackouts “aren’t isolate anomalies, they’re warning signals.”
