In a 2015 EDGE Chats interview at Duke University, Rebecca Kujawa, then Vice President of Business Management for NextEra Energy Resources, discussed trends in the power sector. She stated that electricity load growth is slowing due to energy efficiency, technology improvements, and cultural changes, while innovation in smart grid technology, battery storage, and wind and solar improvements are making clean energy more economic. Kujawa noted that cheaper natural gas has reduced power prices and that NextEra Energy Resources focuses on long-term contracts for capital investments. Kujawa highlighted the importance of public policy, citing the EPA's Clean Power Plan as a potential driver of a shift from coal to natural gas and renewables. She said the production tax credit for wind has been significant but that wind and solar have become economic enough to consider phasing it out. She also pointed to opportunities in gas infrastructure, such as pipelines to support utilities, and described battery storage as a technology that could change grid management and investment decisions.
