Several IEP companies have been invited to a meeting with the Governor=01,s=

The following are some options, which the Governor=01,s office is consideri=

IEP is doing some preliminary research on some of these topics. IEP would=

o Expand energy conservation programs focused both on immediate peak demand=

streamline permitting, and to develop renewable resources.
o Call for/sponsor federal FERC reform legislation that would:

o Set requirements for FERC to use its retroactive refund authority;
o Improve FERC enforcement over price gouging practices;
o Affirm the role of states to protect their customers from unjust prices.
o Pressure the FERC to do its job to (1) bring about responsible seller=20
