166. 'Insights from a Decade of Public Service' with NYS Commissioner Diane Burman, Paul DeCotis

Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Podcast

The world of the power regulator plays such an essential role in the everyday operation of the utility industry, but the true inner workings can sometimes remain less visible to those across the sector. But as the regulatory bodies get run by dedicated public servants, they keep the industry's and the public's best interest in mind and understanding their inner workings can provide critical value to how to best interact with them for a more beneficial tomorrow across the utility landscape. To assist in that understanding, this episode of the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast welcomes the outgoing Commissioner of the New York State Public Service Commission, Diane Burman. Diane is joined by Paul DeCotis, Senior Partner at West Monroe and a regular stakeholder who engaged with her during her time on the Commission. Listen in as Commissioner Burman reflects on her 11 years of service, treating podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester to unparalleled insights into the regulatory environment and the future of the energy grid. The discussion navigates through the past decade's transformations and anticipates what lies ahead for the utility sector. From the evolving dynamics between regulators and utilities to looking ahead at the government role in the industry, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of energy governance.
