Marginal Cost Working Group—Now Virtual

Virtual
03 March 2021
Hosted By: NERA Economic Consulting

Please join NERA Economic Consulting for our next iteration of the popular Marginal Cost Working Group (MCWG), which was founded in 1982. The MCWG, led by Director Kurt G. Strunk, brings together utility sector professionals seeking a forum to discuss the critical issues and unique challenges facing their sector. We are excited to offer this forum in a virtual format so we can keep the conversation going and make the working group more accessible to utility professionals across North America.

Take advantage of this opportunity to keep up to date with innovations in regulatory development and share insight into pricing strategies for the electricity and natural gas utility sector. We welcome your input to shape the agenda and make the working group as valuable as possible. Please let us know what topics you would like to see covered by contacting us at events@nera.com or the phone number below.

Meet with your industry colleagues to discuss experiences with regulatory successes and setbacks, test new ideas, and stay connected to major industry trends across North America and around the globe.
