Expressed concerns about or opposition to markets issues related to regional transmission organizations, including proposed energy imbalance market and existing mandatory capacity markets (FERC docket # AD 13-7). Encouraged oversight of FERC more generally. Monitored issues related to electric vehicles, particularly regarding funding issues. Support revised Senergy efficiency bill, S. 1392, which failed on the Senate floor.Worked to ensure small utilities that are defined as small businesses under SBREFA get appropriate consideration under any pending and future EPA and FERC regulations, and support H.R. 2542 to modify the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Supported Senator Klobuchar bill related to preventing copper theft. Support H.R. 1199 to delete Section 433 of EISA 2007, which mandates that all federal buildings use no fossil fuel by 2030. Also support other efforts to fix this issue. While not a federal issue, discussed issues surrounded distributed generation (namely, rooftop solar) with DOE staff. Discussed the process surrounding the pending Quadrennial Energy Review (and it's focus on distribution, transmission and storage of energy) with DOE and the White House and submitted statements and other materials related to that process. Discussed the need for enhanced liability protection for electric utilities who are subject to a cyber-security attack. Briefed Senators and House Members and staff on the physical security of the electric system, and opposed additional legislation resulting in greater regulation. Discussed the issue of the availability of spare transformers with DOE and others. Support information sharing legislation such as CISPA, H.R. 3523, and the recently passed Senate Intelligence Committee information sharing bill (no bill number to date). Supported the SMART GRID Study Act, H.R. 2962.
