The Institute for Regulatory Law and Economics
Today I’m traveling to the 2024 Institute for Regulatory Law & Economics Workshop for Regulators. The 2024 IRLE Workshop marks not only the 18th annual gathering of regulators and scholars, but also the 20th anniversary of IRLE’s founding. Over the past two decades, this workshop has evolved into a valued educational and translational research resource for regulators navigating the complex interplay of technological, economic, and policy changes that define today’s energy landscape. The importance of the workshop stems from the rapidly changing world of electricity regulation, where regulatory institutions designed for 20th century technologies are tested continuously by innovation.
