I work at the intersection of regulation, strategy, and engineering economics, and I use this space to share decision‑ready thinking for leadership teams and boards facing complex, long‑term questions in utilities and infrastructure.
Periodic perspectives on markets, regulation, and infrastructure strategy
I publish periodic insights on market design, tariff evolution, capital planning, and energy transition across North America and other key jurisdictions (PJM, MISO, Alberta, Australia, UK, etc.). New articles are added a few times each year as major policy and market developments unfold.
Each piece brings together a series of short observations into a cohesive, decision-ready narrative for utility leaders, regulators, and industry leaders.
Core topics under active refinement
The following themes reflect work I have already written about in earlier forms and am now refining into updated, decision-ready articles. As each piece is finalized, it will be published here as a standalone post.
PJM Capacity Market
Examines capacity market structure, resource adequacy, and investment signals in the PJM footprint, with implications for generators, utilities, and regulators.
Topic: Market Design
FTR in Alberta
Explores the design and implications of Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) in Alberta’s energy-only market framework, and how they interact with congestion, investment, and risk allocation.
Topic: Market Design
Alberta’s Approach to Connecting Data Centers
Looks at connection policies, cost allocation, and tariff considerations for hyperscale data centers, and how Alberta is balancing growth, reliability, and fairness.
Topic: Tariff Evolution
How Regulation Unlocks Grid Modernization
Analyzes how regulatory frameworks can enable (or hinder) grid modernization, from advanced metering to distributed energy resources and non-wires alternatives.
Topic: Energy Transition & Policy
Competitive Procurement in the Regulated Utility Space
Breaks down competitive procurement models for transmission, distribution, and DER projects within regulated utility frameworks, and their impact on cost, risk, and innovation.
Topic: IRP & Capital Allocation
Earlier work to be revisited
In addition to the themes above, I am revisiting and updating several earlier pieces from my consulting journey, including:
- Low-carbon, reliable, and affordable electricity
- Integrated resource planning process
- Electricity industry cycle
- “Keystone XL” for the hydrogen economy?
These will be revised and republished over time, with dates reflecting when the updated versions are released.
