Panel 1: Transactive Energy Solutions to Achieve State Policy Goals and Customer Values
Cliona Robb, Esq Director, Thompso McMullan P.C.
Larisa Dobriansky, Chief Business & Policy Innovation Officer, General Microgrids Inc

Panel 2: Blockchain Applications for Grid Modernization
At first glance, terms like Blockchain, Bitcoin, Crypto, Mining, Digital Ledgers, and Microgrids may seem like they belong in a science fiction movie directed by the likes of Steven Spielberg or George Lucas. However, these technologies are rapidly becoming commonplace in the public utility sector. So, what exactly are these mechanisms, and why should we take notice of them? How can producers and consumers benefit from them, and what are the potential costs? These are the critical questions that we’ll address in this meeting.
Panel 3: Director and General Counsel’s Panel
Energy consumption is an integral part of modern life, touching almost every aspect, from cooking, heating, and cooling, to charging electronic devices, among others. With this comes monthly energy bills, which are often determined by the rates set by regulatory commissions. But how exactly are these rates determined, and what impact do state and federal legislation have on these bills?
The panelists for this discussion are distinguished experts who consist of representatives from regulatory commissions in the southern states and professionals who have extensive experience appearing before such commissions. They include General Counsels and lead consumer advocates who possess in-depth knowledge of the workings of regulatory commissions and the impact of their decisions on consumer energy bills.
In this discussion, the panelists will explore the varying commission structures in the South and provide insights into crucial topics such as judicial conduct, open meeting requirements, competency, utility law practice, advocacy roles of public utility practitioners, gift restrictions, and other current issues. Join us to gain valuable knowledge and insights into the legalities surrounding energy consumption and bills.
