Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) Chairman Glen R. Thomas will co-moderate a national panel on "Lesson Learned from the Enron Experience: How Will it Affect Regulation?" at the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners’ (NARUC) Winter Meeting, at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12, in Regency A of the Hyatt Regency Washington, on Capitol Hill, 400 New Jersey Ave., Washington, D.C.
Chairman Thomas will focus his remarks on encouraging regulators to not look at the fall of Enron or at the collapse of electric competition in California as the failure of deregulation, but to learn from the success of Pennsylvania, still the national model for Electric Choice. He also will announce actions Pennsylvania is taking in the aftermath of Enron, and encourage regulators in other states to follow suit.
Chairman Thomas will address approximately 500 state utility commissioners and their staffs, other state and federal officials, and industry and consumer-group representatives. He also will facilitate the panel -- along with co-moderator and Arkansas Public Service Commission Chairman Sandra Hochstetter. The panel also will include John Anderson, Executive Director of ELCON (Electricity Consumers Resource Council); Robert Gee, Vice President for Development and Partner Relations for the Electricity Innovation Institute (E2I), an affiliate of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI); Craig Goodman, President of the National Energy Marketers Association (NEMA); and Peter Rigby, Director of Utilities and Energy Project Finance for Standard and Poor’s.
