Senator Nate Blouin speaks at White House Summit on Energy

May 31, 2024, Salt Lake City: On May 28, 2024, Utah State Senator Nate Blouin attended a summit on electric grid modernization at the White House. Senator Blouin spoke on a panel with officials from across the country about the importance of renewable energy sources and investment in energy infrastructure. 

At the summit, the Biden-Harris administration announced the Federal-State Modern Grid Deployment Initiative, which is designed to improve the distribution of clean, affordable power. This initiative comes after the Biden-Harris administration announced $286,100,000 in public funding to support Utah’s clean energy infrastructure. It is clear that President Biden continues to prioritize the success of Utah families.

“I’m grateful for the efforts of the Biden-Harris administration to prioritize energy policy that will deliver a stronger, cleaner, and more affordable grid,” Senator Blouin said. “Grid Enhancing Technologies address the need to expand the nation’s transmission capacity quickly and cost-effectively to meet our growing energy demand and support an expanding economy.”

Utah Democrats like Senator Blouin are working with the Biden-Harris administration to ensure that our state receives the federal support it needs to thrive.
