In the summer of 2017, in response to the VC Summer Crisis, Caskey lead the formation of the bipartisan Energy Caucus. During the fall of 2017, Caskey was appointed by the Speaker to the House Utility Ratepayer Protection Committee. In the 2018 legislative session, Caskey remained vocal in criticizing SCANA and others. He vocalized his support for H.4375, which called for the repeal of the Base Load Review Act, citing that he was not willing to allow SCANA to continue to charge ratepayers and benefit from the failed project. The bill passed the House on January 31, 2017.
