PEG recently issued its Phase 1 report in a project to develop an activities and program benchmarking ("APB") capability for the Ontario Energy Board. The Board has twice used total cost benchmarking studies by PEG to set stretch factors in the price cap indexes of provincial power distributors. The goal of the APB project is to benchmark more granular power distribution costs as an aid to rate applications. The Board is charged with regulating more than seventy power distributors.
Zachary Legge has rejoined PEG's staff as an Economist II. Zack took a year off to earn a master's degree in Resource and Energy Demand Management Analysis from the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A Trenton NJ native, Zack previously worked for PEG as an intern while earning UW undergraduate degrees in mathematical economics and classical studies. Zack replaces AJ Callis, who will be entering the PhD program in Economics this fall at Oxford University.
