ARLINGTON, VA – April 29, 2026 – The following statement is attributed to Kinsey Fabrizio, President, Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®:

“Innovation requires electrons. U.S. leadership in AI, robotics, quantum computing and other frontier technologies depends on reliable, affordable energy.

CTA commends the House Energy and Commerce Committee for its ongoing work to make electricity more affordable and ensure we use technology – including AI – to improve grid modernization and efficiency. Today's hearing on AI and the Grid: Meeting Growing Power Demand While Protecting Ratepayers addresses a real challenge for CTA members: powering tomorrow’s technology while protecting American households.
