In the first ever episode of the Factor This Policycast, produced in partnership with Advanced Energy United, we’re thrilled to be joined by AEU’s Managing Director, Caitlin Marquis, and the Electricity Transmission Competition Coalition's Chair, Paul Cicio, to learn about the place of competitive transmission bidding in an energy industry that’s changing every day.

Advocates argue that competitive bidding, among other benefits, will allow stakeholders to more quickly and efficiently build out critical infrastructure to meet the challenge of rising load growth. We cover the policy and regulatory landscape the push for competitive bidding is a part of, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's role, what key players have to say, and more, in this inaugural episode.

Don’t miss it! We’re platforming key perspectives and conversations, right when they’re needed. It’s good to be in on the ground floor.
