This white paper, authored by Sarah Greenberg, with contributions from Steve Boughton, Nic Gladd, Todd Glass, Katie Mansur, Bob O’Connor, Jason Slagle, and Scott Zimmermann from Wilson Sonsini, and CREO and Spring Lane, provides an overview of U.S. electricity regulation, including the different market structures in the industry, how those markets are regulated, and the primary agencies responsible for regulating the industry. This primer is written principally for readers who are not yet familiar with the details of electricity regulation who seek to attain a working knowledge of the major concepts.

As part of a series developed by Wilson Sonsini, in collaboration with CREO and Spring Lane Capital, to complement the Developer U workshops, the white paper introduces key concepts critical to the successful development and financing of climate hardware projects, with the goal of equipping stakeholders with the knowledge needed to navigate the complex financing and development challenges in climate technology.
