The Public Utility Research Centre of the University of Florida will facilitate discussions on the technical, political and practical aspects of utility regulation.
The National Utilities Regulatory Commission (NURC) will host a two-day training session on Utility Regulation.
The purpose of the sessions are to create greater understanding and appreciation for utility regulation, especially since Saint Lucia has now transitioned to a multi-sector regulatory model.
The sessions will be facilitated by the Public Utility Research Centre (PURC) of the University of Florida, and will involve both technical and practical discussions on utility rate-making and incentives; the roles and challenges of independent power producers for renewable energy; understanding the political economy of regulation; assessing regulatory systems; and the implications of and strategies for non-revenue water, among other topics.
The training sessions will be held at the Palm Haven conference room on May 19 – 20, from 9 a.m.
