Join the Bush School's Mosbacher Institute for a Conversation in Public Policy with Bill Flores, Chair of the ERCOT Board of Directors, whose distinguished career spans leadership roles across the public and private energy sectors. We will discuss how population growth, economic expansion, and data centers are driving unprecedented increases in electricity demand. Discover how Texas is responding to this demand through long-term planning, infrastructure investment, and technological innovation. Bill Flores, a longtime friend of the Bush School and TAMU, is uniquely positioned to share important insights about the policy and strategic choices necessary to maintain grid reliability and support the state's continued leadership in energy innovation.
