Powering Ohio: Opportunities to Meet Growing Energy Demand

Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) held a timely webinar addressing one of Ohio’s most pressing challenges: how to meet the rapidly growing demand for electricity. Peak demand across the regional grid is projected to grow nearly 30% by 2034, driven largely by the rapid expansion of data centers and AI technologies and outpacing current supply levels. With new federal policies limiting support for wind and solar—the fastest, most affordable energy to deploy—the choices made now will shape Ohio’s future economic competitiveness. Chambers and economic development organizations have a critical role to play in ensuring Ohio businesses and communities have access to reliable, cost-effective power.
