Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) Chairman Andrew Fay joined energy experts from across the globe at the VIII World Forum on Energy Regulation held in Lima, Peru this week. Forum discussions centered on the “Energy Transformation Challenge: competitiveness and sustainability of energy markets, opportunities and achievements.”
“As energy sectors work to successfully transition electric generation, I believe that our voices can help shape the future intersection of energy and transportation,” PSC Chairman Fay said. “As regulators, we have a responsibility to share and collaborate on the best path forward and to continue to position the United States as a beacon of international energy policy.”
During the Forum, Chairman Fay spoke on Electric Vehicles and their impact on the grid, the potential for new generation requirements, and the need for better grid management. He also addressed Florida’s role in supporting the manufacturing of other forms of fully electric transportation including large commercial vehicles. Florida currently ranks 2nd in the United States for the number of electric vehicles on the road.
World Forum on Energy Regulation
The World Forum on Energy Regulation (WFER), held every three years, is the leading international conference on energy regulation. WFER brings together key players in the energy industry, academics, and regulators from around the world to engage in strategic energy discussions on different regulatory schemes. The Forum is held within the framework of the International Confederation of Energy Regulators (ICER), a voluntary framework for cooperation among energy regulators to help improve the design and implementation of public policies in the energy sector by exchanging information and best practices.
