Abstract
In June 2007, the Utilities Industry Council made a presentation at the LERA National Policy Forum on significant changes occurring in the utility industry. The session (moderated by this author) featured Chris Johansson of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, J. Joseph “Max” Curran III of Saul Ewing LLP, and Thomas J. Schneider of Restructuring Associates. Most of the industry’s recent changes were prompted by the 2006 repeal of the Public Utilities Holding Company Act (PUCHA), federal consumer-protection legislation passed in 1935.
