On May 11, the OMA Energy Committee held its Q2 meeting, sponsored by OMA Connections Partners Constellation, Go Sustainable Energy, and Vistra Energy. Nearly 60 members attended either in person or online. Highlights of the meeting included:

• An overview of current energy market trends;
• An examination of recent growth in U.S. liquified natural gas exports, which has added to the energy costs of U.S. manufacturers; and
• A review of current state legislation that would negatively impact Ohio’s electric customers, including House Bill 317.

The OMA will conduct its in-person Ohio Manufacturers’ Energy Conference on Sept. 8 at the Quest Conference Center in Westerville. Registration details will be forthcoming. 5/11/2022
