Part 1 The Changing Energy landscape

Energy services – energy in our lives
![Page 6: New Energy Service Delivery Models: Implications for the Regulatory System Mike Cleland CAMPUT, Kingston June 23, 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e3f5503460f94b2ffc4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Pressures on the system
• Economic – slow growing economy, need for infrastructure renewal, competitive pressures
• Environmental – climate, air quality, water, land and habitat• Societal - trust, siting, cost, tax aversion, equity concerns• Technology – impacts of social media, IT, storage, renewables, cost of gas

Part 2The players and their roles
![Page 8: New Energy Service Delivery Models: Implications for the Regulatory System Mike Cleland CAMPUT, Kingston June 23, 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e3f5503460f94b2ffc4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The Players
• Demanding results– Customers, neighbours, citizens and voters– Public policy makers
• Delivering results – Competitive suppliers– Utilities
• The referees – Regulators
![Page 9: New Energy Service Delivery Models: Implications for the Regulatory System Mike Cleland CAMPUT, Kingston June 23, 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e3f5503460f94b2ffc4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Customers – the value proposition
Then – Energy boring– Service analogous to a
commodity – product differentiation not possible, suppliers compete on price and supply security
– Priorities: safety reliability, non-intrusiveness, cost
– Risk aversion, high implicit discount rates, very high info acquisition and transaction costs
Now • Still boring• Limited potential to
differentiate?
• Priorities similar - plus environmental results
• How much new appetite for risk, long paybacks, time spent on energy choices?

Neighbours – the back yard owners
Then• Passive communities• High deference, trust in
authority• Local communities kept
informed (maybe)• Infrastructure got built
Now• Evidence that resistance to
facility siting will grow• Authorities – including
regulators – not trusted • Local communities wanting
more say, more control• Big infrastructure harder
and harder to site – esp linear infrastructure

11
Citizens and voters
Then• Customers plus neighbours
plus citizens = voters• Who quietly absorbed tax
increases (but often reacted to price increases)
• Who were passive about intrusions in their communities
• And relatively indifferent to engagement outside the ballot box.
Now • Still true
• Who say no to tax increases as well as energy price increases
• Who say no to intrusions in their communities
• Who will have to be constructively engaged outside electoral processes.

Part 4 Driving change – options for governments
![Page 20: New Energy Service Delivery Models: Implications for the Regulatory System Mike Cleland CAMPUT, Kingston June 23, 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e3f5503460f94b2ffc4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Policy instruments: options for governments
• Private markets • Prices – real costs of energy including carbon• Minimum standards eg EE on energy using equipment • Mandates such as RPS• Subsidies such as FIT’s, DSM programs• Infrastructure investment • Technology investment
![Page 21: New Energy Service Delivery Models: Implications for the Regulatory System Mike Cleland CAMPUT, Kingston June 23, 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e3f5503460f94b2ffc4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Reminder – the players
• The customer – narrow, local and short (with apologies to Thomas Hobbes)
• The (utility) investor: risk averse, patient, narrow in outlook
• The (competitive supplier) investor: impatient, mistrustful of utilities, narrow in outlook
• Public policy needs: often at odds with the others on geographic scope, breadth, time horizon
![Page 22: New Energy Service Delivery Models: Implications for the Regulatory System Mike Cleland CAMPUT, Kingston June 23, 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e3f5503460f94b2ffc4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

And economic regulators?
• Core mission is to stand in place of markets where natural monopoly prevails
• Fair and reasonable rates for consumers/fair return on investment for investors
• Emphasis on transparency, fair cost allocation and avoidance of cross-subsidy, avoidance of rate shock
• But........• Touched by or potentially shaping or delivering virtually all
of the available policy instruments

Conclusion
• Societal forces create pressures (economic, environmental, social)
• And opportunities (technological change and business innovation)
• Public policy makers will try to meet more global, broader and longer term objectives – because they will be forced to.• What is the role of economic regulators in meeting these
objectives?
