Add to my Calendar

Over the last decade, competition has intensified between gas and electric utilities to meet all building energy needs for homes and businesses, including sectors like heating and cooking. Policy incentives to transition from gas to electric appliances as part of greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies and improvements in electric technologies are further intensifying this competition. This renewed competition raises new and challenging issues for regulators - Public Utility Commissions - tasked with regulating utilities and that have traditionally viewed them as providing distinct services in separate markets.

This webinar, hosted by the Climate and Energy Policy Program at Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment, presents results of a new study evaluating this competition between utilities.
