CONSULTING SERVICES

As the electric utility industry continues to face the challenges of deregulation and restructuring, comprehensive multi-disciplinary analysis has become crucial to expanding profitability. My 20 years experience as an engineer, policy analyst, and academic provides insights into the complexities of a quickly shifting industry and the vision to leverage opportunities.

Since 1995, I have provided consulting and educational services to public utilities, independent power producers, electricity marketers, regulatory agencies, and law firms. Examples of work products include:

• Strategic analysis,
• Expert testimony,
• Design and analysis of electricity markets,
• Review of proposals.

My past and current clients include: Tenneco Power Generation Company, the California Energy Commission, Bracewell and Patterson LLP, The South Texas Electric Cooperative, Reliant Energy, Dynegy Corporation, Colonial Pipeline, Competitive Power Advocates, The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and Florida Power and Light.

As a Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, I have contributed over forty papers to the technical literature. I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley and began economic-policy analysis as a post-doctoral fellow at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. I have been a Visiting Researcher at the University of California Energy Institute and a Research Fellow at the Harvard Electricity Policy Group. I teach short-courses and seminars on the electric utility industry and have lectured on electricity restructuring at many venues.

I provide the high level, integrated consulting services you need to confront the continuing challenges in the electric utility industry.
