ChristieVisiting Professor of the Practice of Law and Lowance FellowDirector\, Center for Energy Law & PolicyWilliam & Mary Law School\n\n\n\n9:45 AM – 11:00 AM – Large and Speculative Loads\n\n\n\nThe rapid emergence of large electricity loads—driven by data centers\, artificial intelligence computing\, electrification of industry\, hydrogen production\, and large‑scale transportation infrastructure—is challenging traditional assumptions about grid planning\, reliability\, and energy markets. Load growth once projected to be flat is now surging in many regions\, leading to unprecedented pressures on transmission development\, generation procurement\, fuel diversity\, and regulatory frameworks. \n\n\n\nThis panel will explore how utilities\, regulators\, developers\, and customers are navigating the complex landscape of large-load integration. Panelists will discuss key issues such as the siting and interconnection of massive new loads\, evolving state and federal policies\, resource adequacy implications\, innovative utility–customer partnerships\, and the role of demand-side flexibility. The conversation will also address competition among states for large-load economic development\, regional differences in growth patterns\, and how emerging technologies may ease—or exacerbate—the strain on the system. \n\n\n\n\n\nAdrienne E.

The session will begin with an overview of what RTOs and ISOs are\, how they operate\, and which organizations fall within the Southern region\, along with a discussion of FERC oversight and compliance requirements and their real-world implications for utilities and state commissions. \n\n\n\nPanelists will then explore the potential benefits and disadvantages of participation\, including impacts on market efficiency\, reliability\, regulatory coordination\, and consumer outcomes followed by a candid discussion of the challenges and tradeoffs. The program will conclude with a comparison of traditional RTO/ISO models and the Southeastern Energy Exchange Market (SEEM)\, highlighting how SEEM differs structurally and legally—and what those differences may mean for the future of power markets in the Southeast. \n\n\n\n\n\nThomas DevitaAssociate General CounselPJM Interconnection\n\n\n\n\n\nChris DemkoAssociate General CounselSouthern Company\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter HellerEnergy AssociateThe Brattle Group\, Inc. \n\n\n\n\n\nTed VatnsdalExecutive DirectorMidcontinent Independent System Operator \n\n\n\n\n\nLila JaberPresidentLilaJaber Consulting(Moderator)\n\n\n\n\n\n3:15 PM – 4:30 PM – Hot topics in the South – A Discussion on Regulatory Topics that are Presently Engaging Regulators and Utilities in our Southern Region\n\n\n\nThis panel will explore the challenges and opportunities facing utilities and state commissions\, to deliver safe\, reliable and affordable electricity and natural gas to customers.  Our experts will discuss large load issues\, aging infrastructure\, the continuing nuclear renaissance\, renewables and the quest to keep costs reasonable in the face of ever-changing upward pressures.  \n\n\n\n\n\nJamie BarberDirector\, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy UnitGeorgia Public Service Commission\n\n\n\n\n\nNicole M.
