Member energy use continues to grow
AECI's member systems are growing, and AECI is preparing to meet that increased need for
low-cost energy. AECI projects cooperative members' energy and peak demand needs will continue to increase about 2 percent a year for the next 10 years. The cooperative has a resource plan that integrates diverse resources to meet growing member load, including energy efficiency, to ensure an economical and reliable wholesale power supply for member systems.
National electricity demand is following a similar path. According to the U.S. Department of Energy,
by 2030 Americans will consume about 30 percent more electricity than they do today.
