As electricity demand accelerates due to AI data centers, industrial reshoring and increasing electrification, the need for reliable natural gas infrastructure has never been greater. In this episode, Pipeline & Gas Journal sits down with Dena Wiggins, President & CEO of the Natural Gas Supply Association (NGSA), to discuss the policy and infrastructure challenges shaping the future of U.S. energy. The conversation explores why permitting reform has become a critical issue for maintaining grid reliability, the economic and energy security impacts of delayed or canceled pipeline projects and how regulatory uncertainty is influencing investment decisions across the natural gas industry. Wiggins also shares her perspective on natural gas' continuing role in supporting an affordable, resilient electric grid and delivers her message to policymakers on the importance of timely infrastructure approvals.
