The coming years will test our state’s electricity reliability. Arkansas faces a growing power-generation gap driven by rising demand and shifting demographics. Today, roughly 50% of our power is imported. It’s time to reclaim control by expanding domestic, diverse generation - wind, solar, and reliable baseload resources - so Arkansans own the power we use.
This plan isn’t about subsidies or politics. It’s about lower bills, local jobs, and a more resilient grid for tomorrow. By investing in local generation, we reduce dependence on neighboring states during extreme weather events, strengthen Arkansas’ energy security, and shield our families and neighbors from price shocks. We can pursue practical, market-based policies while streamlining permitting, investing in storage and grid modernization, encouraging private investment, and ensuring rural communities stay connected.
The result: more local power, more local jobs, and greater freedom from volatile energy prices. It’s Arkansas-made power - empowering Arkansans with reliable, homegrown energy.
