What Does The PUC Have To Do With It?
Dave Roberts, on yesterday’s Volts podcast, interviewed Charles Hua, who is launching Powerlines.org, an advocacy organization dedicated to help modernize state-level PUCs. For anyone interested in PUC structural reform, the podcast is a good overview of the issues, and group in Reno is looking at reforms at our state PUC.
In Nevada, the Nevada Public Utilities Commission (NPUC) is the critical regulator. Reno/Sparks CCLer, Brian Thornton, is interested in encouraging the NPUC to move from “cost of service” regulation (“COS”) to “performance-based” regulation (“PBR”). It’s a complex issue, and if you are interested in participating, contact Brian at this email.
