While #MARC25 may be over, the work continues! We appreciate the Financial Research Institute hosting a post-conference workshop, Best Practices in Water Affordability!
It was great to learn about different approaches to securing safe, reliable and affordable water and wastewater services for all.

CUB's Sarah Moskowitz spoke to a packed room as she participated in a panel discussion on "Public Engagement and Regulatory Culture" at the Mid-America Regulatory Conference this week. It's important to have the voice of consumer advocates in these discussions!

What better topic for a deep dive than load growth. ⚡️
Today, attendees spent the afternoon learning alongside diverse experts as they explored topics like load forecasting and flexibility, and right-sizing the grid.

#Energysky 's own @tnorris.bsky.social at #MARC25 Load Growth Intensive panel. More on panel substance later. (Hint: large load flexibility good if planning accounts for and optimizes for it

MARC was proud to host a fireside chat between Indiana Michigan Power President & COO Steve Baker and Indiana Governor Mike Braun.
They discussed a variety of energy-related topics from increasing energy demand to IN’s regulatory climate to types of generation.
It was a great discussion! #MARC25

Public service commissions, by definition, exist to serve the public interest — but the public isn’t monolithic across different demographics.
It was great learning from experts today on ways to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in utility regulation and the industry!

We started off strong with a fireside chat: Between Two Commissioners with @ferc.gov Commissioner Lindsay See and MARC President Sarah Freeman!
It was great to hear their perspectives on resource adequacy, stakeholder engagement, the importance of cooperative federalism, and more!
