Good morning, @nbc4i ... please review the below thread.
“Data centers cause Ohio’s energy demand to surpass supply” is clickbait, sensational and unsupported by the story itself.
Ohio’s demand has not surpassed supply. PJM missed an administrative reserve target built on forecasts of future demand. (1/5)

Talk about tone deaf. Ohio’s utilities helped drive an electricity affordability crisis. Now, fresh off an election where energy costs were a major issue, they want lawmakers to let them own power plants again.
Their solution to soaring costs and weak oversight? Give the monopolies MORE power.

Ohio's utility watchdog keeps giving utilities a free pass, and manufacturers are paying the price.
After more than $180 million in disputed costs gets the green light, OMA is calling for accountability at the PUCO.
Ohio's next governor has a chance to demand better.

Manufacturing competitiveness doesn't stop at the border. 🇺🇸🇩🇪
We're hosting representatives of Germany's @fdp and @FNFreiheit at OMA headquarters today to discuss what drives industrial investment, from affordable energy and skilled workers to policies that keep manufacturers competitive.
Nothing like a little horsepower to show off Ohio manufacturing!
OMA and @HondaInAmerica were proud to host the @OLSCFellowship in Marysville, where the Fellows got a firsthand look at the innovation, skilled workforce and advanced production that keep Ohio competitive. Thanks for joining us!
The 2026-2027 Fellows had their seminar with @OHIOMFG and Honda earlier this month! Thank you for taking the group to the Marysville Plant and Heritage Center to learn more about Ohio's manufacturing industry.
Nothing like a spirited discussion about electric bills to energize a Friday in Cleveland!
Thanks to @TheCityClub for bringing together different perspectives on Ohio’s energy future and giving OMA President Ryan Augsburger the opportunity to make the case for affordable, reliable power and protecting existing customers from unnecessary costs.
Ohio’s rising electricity costs, utility forecasts and data centers are on the agenda today at @TheCityClub of Cleveland.

Ohio is fortunate to have institutions like @BGSU setting the standard for workforce development. Its Gold Star recognition reflects an outstanding commitment to preparing students for manufacturing careers and partnering with industry. Thank you, @Pres_Rogers, for your leadership and a terrific summit!
Bowling Green State University was proud to host today’s Advanced Manufacturing Summit!
Thank you to @RAugsburgerOMA, president of the Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (@OHIOMFG), for moderating today’s leadership panel and announcing Bowling Green’s designation as a Gold Star institution in the OMA’s inaugural Workforce Training Directory. We are one of only three public universities in Ohio to earn the highest distinction, which recognizes our commitment to preparing students for careers in an industry vital to Ohio’s economy.

Thank you to the manufacturers, students, educators, workforce partners and regional leaders who joined us to explore the future of advanced manufacturing. With Ohio ranking third in the nation for manufacturing jobs, this work matters.

New demand should pay for new demand.

Whirlpool has been building in America for 115 years, with Ohio at the heart of that story.
Proud to have Marc Bitzer and the Whirlpool team with us last week to talk investment, competitiveness and what it takes to keep American manufacturing growing.
For 115 years, Whirlpool Corporation has proudly invested in American manufacturing, with Ohio playing a key role as home to six of our U.S. plants and nearly 8,000 team members. Our team was honored to participate in last week's Ohio Manufacturers' Association (@OHIOMFG) event to celebrate the strong community driving the future of American manufacturing.
