Texas Senator Highlights Austin Gathering Of National Energy Marketers Association Spotlighting Success of Texas Market The National Energy Marketers Association announced that Robert "Bob" Hall III, Texas State Senator for District 2, will provide a keynote address at NEM's Fall Leadership Roundtable, to be held October 26 to October 28, 2016 in Austin, Texas
Among other committee appointments, Hall served on the Senate's Natural Resources and Economic Development Committee during the last session. Hall has also been a leader on grid security issues
The NEM conference provides a forum to ask Hall, who has championed expanding free-market principles, why there has not been an effort in the Senate to restart the transition to competition at Southwestern Public Service and Entergy Texas, given that, unlike 10 years ago, these utilities are now in "day 2" RTO markets, as the ostensible reason for a delay in the transition to competition was the lack of a viable wholesale market for such service areas.
As previously reported, Texas PUC Chair Donna Nelson will also provide a keynote address.
