What Tim Echols is pushing here is a characteristic we call RESILIENCY - the ability of a system to survive a disruption. On the grid, that’s the sudden loss of a generating unit. He’s spot on here. Please read!

I was just on a panel about the future of the East Coast grid. We concluded that we need a reliable grid with diverse types of generators.
Then I saw this tweet and op-ed by Tim Echols. I guess great minds think alike!

Georgia is taking the right approach to our power grid. Reliable energy is essential to this state's future and continued growth.

Tim Echols Tim Echols describes how GA’s vertically integrated electricity supplier plans for diversified sources to create a clean, reliable and affordable power grid.
The PUC he serves on is a key part of the state’s planning process.

While I’m not sure I would have voted the same way were I on the Commission, I’m not. My friend & colleague Tim Echols lays out his rationale for the recent PSC vote on GPC’s capacity additions.

Please check out this article on Georgia electric power generation by Tim Echols and support his continued leadership by voting for him in November. 😀

We are here at ZooATL today to give out $8000 in cash prizes for schools that have been recycling glass this year. Over 18 tons of glass has been collected and will make its way down to Valdosta Georgia to the Arglass furnace. I was inspired to do this by WSB Radio circa 1978.

Very good op-ed. For a modern society, electricity is like oxygen. A reliable supply is essential for survival.
Building reliability into a grid isn’t cheap or easy, but it’s necessary.

Commissioner Echols comments on the Public Service Commission's recent actions relative to electric grid reliability as well as the broader policy issues in play - Take the time to read his timely insight.

So important to keep energy diversity & security. And you have done great job and it's worthwhile, keep on going, Tim👏

Commissioner Tim Echols explains why GPSC approved Georgia Power's revised IRP for additional natural gas capacity. That being--energy diversity & security. This reflects energy pragmatism & power sector realities--in stark contrast with TX & CA. ajc.com/opinion/georgi…

Grid reliability is absolutely essential in attracting industry to a state! Energy mix must be designed intelligently. Great job Tim and Georgia PSC! #nuclearpower

The electricity grid needs to be clean and reliable. The. GPSC is leading the way for the US.

Georgians want an electric grid they can count on

Wow, good work ⁦Tim Echols⁩ 👍 😊 ajc.com/opinion/georgi…

A “spot-on” Op-Ed from @TimEchols! #Reliability Georgians want an electric grid they can count on ajc.com/opinion/georgi…

As the only state to build new nuclear reactors, Georgia is well on its way to have a reliable and clean electric grid.

We can thank Tim Echols for ensuring Georgians have a grid ready for the 21st century. #GApol
