Call-prep brief
Background
Wright & Talisman is the boutique firm of choice for RTO and transmission-investment regulatory matters. Wendy's practice intersects directly with the regulatory layer that controls transmission cost recovery, interconnection-queue process, and FERC formula-rate methodology.
What she cares about
- FERC Order 1920 (transmission planning) implementation.
- Order 2023 (generator-interconnection process reform) at the RTO level.
- Transmission-incentive policy and formula-rate methodology.
Sensitivities
- Lawyer first. Won't share client-specific intel. Frame questions as regulatory-mechanics.
Questions to ask
- Which RTOs are furthest along on Order 1920 compliance, and which are slowing it?
- How are transmission-cost-allocation disputes shaping which projects can attract investor capital?
- Where does she see federal court appeals creating regulatory volatility for transmission investors?
