Corker Holds Energy Roundtable
Access to low cost energy in the Tennessee Valley helps drive economic development. U.S. Senator Bob Corker recently led a roundtable discussion about the impact of electricity rates on jobs in our region. Panelists included representatives from the utility, manufacturing, and energy industries. Tennessee is well positioned for economic growth, but we need to make sure electricity rates are low so companies in our state remain competitive globally. It is clear from the discussion that the tremendous burden of regulatory compliance increases the price of power and the cost of doing business in the Tennessee Valley.
Sen. Corker's efforts to reduce overregulation by the federal government are the direct result of feedback received from companies represented at the roundtable and across the state.
