Keynote Speaker Pat Wood to kick off Day Two of the SPEER Summit!
Pat Wood, former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and former Chair of the PUC of Texas, will lead off the second day of SPEER’s Energy Efficiency Summit. Wood is perhaps best know here for leading a multiyear collaborative stakeholder process that lead to the complete restructuring of the Texas electric utility market. Now a board member or advisor to a range of energy companies, Wood will address the potential of the efficiency and distributed generation industry to remake itself as well, and share his experience with collaborative initiatives such as SPEER.
