Explore the opportunities provided by two recent trends in the electricity industry - the perceived need for greater price-responsive demand and the pull-back from the march toward deregulation.

Many utilities now foresee a future of continued state retail regulation after years of uncertainty and are assessing the need for rate cases to bring their tariff structures up to date with their costs. At the same time, areas with competitive regional wholesale power markets are searching for ways to create price-responsive retail demand to address issues of reliability, resource adequacy, market power, and periodic wholesale price spikes. It's all covered at this invaluable conference!!!
