• Current regulatory requirements continue to negatively impact operational efficiency and are diverting necessary resources away from critical service improvement projects. Utilities are reporting same or similar data to multiple agencies, and unfortunately those agencies are not communicating and sharing the information, which leads to inconsistencies and redundancies.
  • Modifying or eliminating redundant and complex requirements would allow for more streamlined reporting without compromising regulatory oversight.
  • Rural electric cooperatives play a key role in the utility sector. Cooperatives serve individuals and businesses in areas that were traditionally unserved by larger utilities in the past. Their focus is to ensure critical energy needs are met so communities can move toward local development and economic growth.
