Senior Economist
CurrentI currently work in FERC's Office of Energy Market Regulation - West, in the Folsom, CA regional office. In this position I work directly with California ISO staff and stakeholders. This provides our front office leadership a better view into the ISO's activities, in particular the ISO's proposed market design changes. I also regularly interact with other Western energy stakeholders such as state Commissioners, utility staff, etc.At the same time, I carry on the same duties as if I were in DC, serving a reviewer or team member on significant rulemakings and on proposed utility OATT changes and RTO/ISO market design proposals. Recent examples include SPP's WEIS market proposal as well as virtually everything CAISO has submitted in the last 5+ years.I regularly represent the Commission at conferences too. Since joining the Folsom office this has included speaking at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, CREPC-WIRAB, the Mid-C Seminar, the Energy Bar Association, and Utility Variable Generation Integration Group, and CREPC-WIRAB.
