Picture Energy: NARUC Winter Meeting, February 11 - 14

FERC Chair Kevin McIntyre detailed the Commission's direction on grid resilience, pipeline permitting, PURPA reform and more. Ralph Cavanagh of NRDC battled Phil Moeller of EEI, rhetorically, in an epic fight billed as another Rumble in the Jungle. But before referee Travis Kavulla of the Montana commission separated the heavyweights, Cavanagh and Moeller agreed to collaborate to accelerate the clean energy transition. Keynoter Michael Webber explained and entertained on the water-energy nexus. He'll never be admitted to the Slow Talkers of America (Bob and Ray's mythical club).

Economic Experiments

It is little wonder why so many commissions prefer a regulatory model that shields most consumers (especially residential) from real time market volatility.
