Where policy meets practice—and the future of energy gets built.
This is the hub for navigating the evolving energy landscape. The Business Issues & Regulatory Models Topic Committee brings together utilities, regulators, and energy service professionals to tackle the big questions shaping how energy is delivered, priced, and regulated.
We create space for open, honest dialogue with experts from across the industry—helping members work through real-world challenges in program design, implementation, and business model innovation. From demand flexibility to pay-for-performance models, we explore what’s now and what’s next.
We’re closing the gap between policy and practice by connecting the industry’s three pillars:
- Energy service professionals: contractors, manufacturers, advocates, and consultants
- Utilities: program managers, planners, and executive leadership
- Regulators: past and present voices from the local, state, and federal levels
Whether you’re designing a new pricing structure, launching a DER pilot, or navigating regulatory frameworks, this is your collaborative think tank.
