Former FERC Commissioner Bill Massey interview on E&ETV’s show, OnPoint

Former FERC Commissioner Bill Massey appeared on E&ETV’s interview show, OnPoint on Tuesday, October 14th, 2008.  The topic was:  What are the benefits and costs associated with regional transmission organizations (RTOs)? Will the use of RTOs benefit the transmission of electric power generated by renewable energy, such as wind? During OnPoint, former Commissioner Bill Massey discusses the key issues currently facing the electric power industry. Massey, now a partner at Covington & Burling and counsel to the COMPETE coalition, explains why he believes RTOs provide benefits to customers and markets and how they will help bring online more electricity produced by renewable sources. He also discusses how uncertainty about climate change regulation is affecting utilities.
