Electrical Industry Restructuring: From Policy To Implementation, Evan D. Richert
Maine Policy Review

Maine Policy Review continues coverage of this issue with Evan Richert’s summary of the June 1996, fifth annual conference on Public Utility Regulation and the Environment (PURE). Richert relates the conference discussions to the PUC’s July 1996 draft plan on electric utility industry restructuring and to state government’s efforts to create a comprehensive energy policy for Maine.

Pricing Challenges Facing Maine’S Utility Regulators, Thomas L. Welch
Maine Policy Review
Decisions concerning the pricing of public utilities are rarely made without controversy.

An Interview With Maine Puc Chairman Kenneth Gordon

Maine Policy Review
In August, 1991, Maine Policy Review interviewed Kenneth Gordon, the current chair of the Maine Public Utilities Commission. That interview centered on important public policy issues that surround the regulation of telecommunications in Maine and the U.S. From his experience as an economist with the Federal Communications Commission, Gordon brings to his current position an extensive background in telecommunications. Since that interview, he has been elected president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, so his views on telecommunications are likely to have significance in national, as well as state, policy.
