Why they matter

One of the most respected independent energy-policy analysts in Washington; her transition out of daily coverage means she's available for senior-investor conversations she wouldn't have had bandwidth for before.

Background

Veteran energy analyst at ClearView Energy Partners, where she previously led coverage of electricity markets, interstate pipelines, energy infrastructure, and U.S. environmental policy. Retired from active coverage effective January 1, 2024 and transitioned to Senior Director, Research. Earlier career as energy analyst at K&L Gates, Stanford Washington Research Group, and Robert W. Baird. Judge for the S&P Global Commodity Insights Global Energy Awards.

Notable deals

  • 2024
    Built ClearView's electricity-markets and environmental-policy research franchise into one of the most widely-read independent sources on FERC and EPA action.
  • 2024
    Transitioned to Senior Director, Research role in January 2024 after retiring from active daily coverage.

Call-prep brief

Background

Christine led ClearView's electricity-markets and policy research for years. Her transition to Senior Director in 2024 makes her more available for structured conversations than during her active coverage period.

What she cares about

  • FERC posture under the current administration.
  • EPA environmental rulemaking and how it interacts with state PUC dockets.
  • Capacity markets (PJM in particular).

Recent moves

  • Retired from active daily coverage (Jan 2024); now Senior Director, Research at ClearView.
  • Judge for S&P Global Commodity Insights Global Energy Awards.

Sensitivities

  • Independent analyst; won't speak with a bias toward any specific client position.
  • Long-form thinker; not ideal for quick reactive takes.

Questions to ask

  1. Where does she see the next big FERC rulemaking that will materially shift project economics?
  2. How does she handicap EPA action under the current administration?
  3. Which capacity-market reforms have the most realistic path to adoption?

Outreach draft

Subject
Electricity-markets policy thesis
Ms. Tezak, I lead infrastructure investing at [Firm]. Your ClearView coverage of electricity markets and environmental policy has shaped how our team understands regulatory tailwinds, and now that you've stepped back from active daily coverage, your perspective on the bigger picture would be enormously valuable. Would you have 30 minutes for a structured conversation in the next two months? Best regards, [Your name] [Your firm]
