Electric Utility Deregulation In Northeast Illinois

Wednesday, April 21, 1999

 

Larry L. Schedin, P.E.

President, Schedin & Associates

 

About the Topic

Deregulation of the electric utility industry will have a profound effect on industrial and commercial users of electric power. Larry will discuss some of the more interesting aspects of electric utility restructuring in Illinois such as hourly balancing of deliveries, and the separation of transmission from distribution based on FERC's seven criteria test. Many regulatory proceedings that will affect how deregulation is implemented are now underway in anticipation of direct access beginning in November 1999. A time for questions will follow the presentation.
