Description (excerpt):
Utility grids in the United States are at an inflection point, and equipping regulators to be more agile can help ensure we are prepared for the future. State public utilities commissions (PUCs) are critical for ensuring the health and economic vitality of households and businesses across the country. State PUCs have historically been tasked with ensuring access to safe, reliable, and affordable energy services. Now, they face new and more complex responsibilities due to shifting economics, aging and fragile infrastructure, and new customer demands for cleaner and more transparent service.
