Rep. Don Davis is a true champion of electric cooperatives, North Carolina’s co-op leaders say. And it’s no wonder.

NRECA has asked federal regulators to modify or go back to the drawing board on a new rule for planning and paying for regional power transmission lines, calling the regulation a “missed opportunity” to ensure the grid keeps up with demand in a way that works for co-ops.
