Electric Energy Regulatory Trends for 2016

2015 was a significant year in the utility sector. The electric power industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation in how it sources and transmits energy, with federal and state agencies promoting greater reliance on renewable energy sources. Regulatory activity in 2015 demonstrated both the government’s commitment to reform the sector and the industry’s need to be proactive in addressing several landmark proposals.

What does 2016 hold for utilities? Utilities and industry participants are likely to confront numerous issues as they navigate an increasingly complex environment. Congress, FERC, EPA, and state agencies are all taking action that requires both awareness and a proactive response by industry participants.
