Dramatic changes are underway in the electricity sector. A convergence of factors is putting unprecedented stress on traditional actors in the electric utility industry, from merchant generators to vertically-integrated utilities to state and federal regulators. These include accelerated technological change, shifting consumer preferences, business model disruption, a rapidly evolving fuel market, and a changing public policy landscape; this stress is especially acute within the context of slow to flattening demand growth. More than ever, the electricity sector is the focus of public policy debates about the relationship between climate change, energy security and economic growth.

This second session of the CSIS Energy and National Security Program's Electricity in Transition series will feature experts on both technology and the interplay between markets and regulation. The first panel, Technology in Transition, will address the commercial and technological advances impacting the electricity business and preview what other changes are on the horizon. The second panel, Markets and Regulation in Transition, will address the reevaluation of the current regulatory system, diving into the past, present and future of the interplay between markets and regulation in the electricity sector.
