Where does decision-making authority in the energy transition most consistently create delay rather than alignment?
Speakers
About This Session
This session examines the decision-making architecture of the energy transition: which entities hold authority at which points in the process, and whether those authorities are structured to move at the pace the transition requires. With panelists spanning utility executive leadership, state regulatory strategy, energy transition policy consulting, academic energy systems research, and cross-border power infrastructure, the conversation maps where decisions stall, where they accelerate, and what structural changes would alter the outcome.
Key Questions Explored
- Where does decision-making authority in the energy transition most consistently create delay rather than alignment?
- What would need to change in the relationship between utilities, regulators, and markets to move faster?
- How do cross-border infrastructure decisions get made, and where do they get stuck?
- What does the pace of decision-making in the next five years mean for reliability and emissions targets in 2035?
