“The changes in transmission from a bundled service to a valuable commodity present great challenges and greater opportunities for new entrants in the wires business. Meeting reliability needs is still the foundation of what we do, but it must be evaluated in light of the economic impacts afforded in Day 2 markets.”
John has more than 22 years of electric utility and consulting experience. He has worked in several sectors of the energy industry, including cooperatives, municipals, investor-owned utilities, and merchant energy companies.
