PrintECG Steps Up Its Voice in Regulatory Affairs
Effective January 1, 2010, ECG has selected the law firm of Galloway and Lyndall, LLP, to represent its interests in regulatory matters with the Georgia Public Service Commission.
“The communities we serve own multi-million dollar electric distribution assets and sell approximately a billion dollars of electricity to their customers annually. It is important they have a voice with our state regulators on matters that impact these enterprises,” explains Executive Vice President Walter West.
“Terri Lyndall brings many years of legal experience in energy regulatory affairs on our behalf. Her expertise also includes natural gas and telecommunications, which is a plus; she understands the larger utility picture,” West adds.
“Using an existing resource is the most cost-effective means to gain the necessary presence at the Public Service Commission,” concludes West.
ECG has monitored PSC activities and worked with the Georgia Municipal Association on legislative and regulatory affairs for decades. This relationship now ensures the interests of Electric Cities of Georgia have a stronger voice.
Legislative & Regulatory
On behalf of Georgia's municipalities, ECG’s Legislative and Regulatory Services monitors their interests before the Georgia General Assembly, the Georgia Public Service Commission, the United States Congress, and many state and federal regulatory agencies.
The primary responsibility of this service is to ensure that legislation and regulations will be monitored and communicated to the ECG participants. ECG will lobby for or against legislation as directed by the ECG Board.
