NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, announced that Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda provided a fireside chat at the Spring Meeting of the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL). Miranda joined Hispanic legislators from across the country for a timely discussion on grid reliability, meeting surging energy demand, and cutting-edge energy technologies.

“State legislators are essential partners in shaping the energy systems that families, businesses, and communities rely on every day,” said Jose Antonio Miranda, Avangrid CEO. “By collaborating with state legislators and investing in modernizing grid infrastructure, we can thoughtfully balance affordability, reliability, and innovation—strengthening the US energy future and promoting long-term economic growth.”

Titled “Balancing Affordability, Reliability and Growth in an Evolving Energy Landscape,” the session explored the intersection of energy policy, infrastructure investment, and rising electricity demand, with a focus on how states and utilities can provide affordable, reliable service while supporting economic growth and innovation.

“We must address now how were going to meet the increasing demand for energy in a sustainable way today and tomorrow. And these conversations must include all of us: policymakers, providers and consumers. Discussing our common priorities with Jose Antonio Miranda gave all parties a clearer sense of how that pathway towards sustainable and affordable energy could look like for our states,” said Rep. Juan Candelaria (CT), President of NHCSL.

The conversation was introduced and moderated by Illinois State Representative Eva‑Dina Delgado, with Miranda offering insights from Avangrid’s experience operating regulated electric and natural gas utilities and developing power generation projects across the United States.
