Will California's Restructuring Tremors Be Felt in Your Region?
,Copyright 2000 EEI. All rights reserved. EEI's State Restructuring Service is proud to present an Internet E-Forum to investigate whether the problems of California could occur in other parts of the country. The California "restructuring earthquake" is marked by the doubling of some electric bills, multi-billion dollar utility under collections, electric reserve margin problems, and consumer outrage. While these problems are the result of numerous factors, some may be replicated in other parts of the country. This E-Forum will look at six regions of the county to see if the same "tremors" will be felt in those regions and if not, why not. Our speakers will address the following questions: Will your region see price spikes next summer? What reliability challenges might your region experience next year? Do any changes in state or federal laws or regulations need to be made? How will retail markets be impacted by other factors such as, market structure, dependence on a spot market, high gas prices, and environmental restrictions? To address these questions we have: California - Dr. John Jurewitz, Dir, Regulatory Policy, SoCal Edison ERCOT - Mike McCall, VP, Regulatory Affairs, TXU PJM - David Pratzon, Consultant, Exelon Power Team Mid -West - Corun Gagatsis, Sr Regulatory Strategist, Detroit Edison New England - Gary Simon, Sr VP, Enterprise, Development and Analysis, NU New York - William L. Jaeger, Chief Eng., Transmission Planning, ConEd Our guest moderator is Chuck Gray, Exec.
