OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Ken Luttrell, R-Ponca City, vice chair of the Oklahoma House Energy Committee, recently joined fellow legislators in Gulfport, Mississippi, for a multi-state conference focused on the future of energy policy across the United States and Canada.
The sessions covered grid resiliency, the rising energy demands of data centers, legal challenges facing the energy sector, reforms to streamline permitting for major projects and ongoing LNG export initiatives.
“This conference provided valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities ahead,” Luttrell said. “We’re all looking toward a future where reliable, affordable energy is essential for families, businesses and national security. These conversations help us make informed decisions for Oklahoma.”
Presenters included industry and policy experts who outlined how these issues are shaping state-level energy strategies. Discussions highlighted what other states and Canadian provinces are implementing and how legislators can support sound, long-term energy policy at home.
Luttrell said he looks forward to applying what he learned as lawmakers continue working on policies that strengthen Oklahoma’s energy landscape.
