PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Pricing Manager

National Grid

April 1985 to Present

Supervise the preparation of marginal, embedded and seasonal cost

allocation studies including all support studies such as transformer

studies, line extensions, likelihood of deficiency, marginal losses, etc.

Supervise electric and gas rates presented to the Public Service Commission

in rate case proceedings. Present exhibits and written and oral testimony.

Design rates that fulfill marketing objectives such as dusk-to-dawn

lighting, time-of-use, real-time pricing, critical peak pricing, back-up &

supplemental, buy-back, Long Island Choice, LED traffic lighting,

conservation, rebates, etc.

. Provide support to Electric Marketing Departments on complex rate

matters associated with negotiated contracts, Power-for-Jobs,

electric and natural gas vehicles, co-generation, pole attachments,

etc.

Senior Rate Analyst

Public Utilities Commission of Ohio

March 1979 to April 1985

Reviewed electric, gas and water company filings. Conducted cost of

service and depreciation studies. Determined appropriate class rate

increases, rate design and contracts. Issued summary of findings,

presented oral and written testimony.

Other Non-Utility Experience

Prior to my experience at the Public Utilities Commission, I was employed

as an Industrial Engineer performing cost accounting, budget preparation,

cost reduction and capital equipment justification.

SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS

Created a real time pricing program that enabled participants to realize

significant annual bill savings (15%), at no disadvantage to the company,

since the savings were designed to be equivalent to the company's avoided

costs.

Determined appropriate Economic Development Zone (EDZ) discounts for

Calverton by studying business risks associated with the threats of co-

generation, retail choice, and merchant plant operations. Determined net

present value of the cash flow and revenue requirements, recognizing T&D

investments, zone discounts, fuel and generation capacity costs.

SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS (continued)

. Designed an integrated rate model that inputs cost of service

results to design cost based rates for full service and retail

access. The project entailed a significant effort to combine

unbundling with cost of service, revenue and rate impacts all in

one model.

. Unbundled LIPA rates into power supply and delivery components for

all rates including economic development, Long Island Choice,

buyback and standby service. Recommend IT procedures that meet the

reformatting goals using efficient programming methods. Coordinate

billing with ad hoc billing groups (Special Billing, Distributed

Resource Management, etc.) to explain reformatted rates affect

reporting and billing. Rebase special contracts to comply with

changes.

. Designed rates for new, full cut-off dusk-to-dawn lighting fixtures

and determined the profitability for existing fixtures, using cost-

of-service, depreciation and rate design expertise.

. Authored a white paper on electric rate disincentives against the

promotion of renewable technologies and distributed generation.

The white paper addressed Con Ed and LIPA delivery rates, the

impact of those rates on distributed generation, grid-connected vs.

isolated operations, caveats and hurdles to co-generation

development and favorable market applications and rate structures.

. Designed the Long Island Choice retail access rate program. Rate

features include Bill Credit Adjustments (BCA) to reconcile day-

ahead LBMP prices to the bill credits received by customers and the

application of the fuel adjustment clause (FPPCA) to the ESCOs to

ensure a competitive level playing field between LIPA and ESCO

power supplies.

. Designed a Green Choice Fixed Price program to promote renewable

energy by locking in a long-term fixed price with a renewable

surcharge which would replace the current non-renewable fuel

surcharge on customer bills.
