Public Utility Research Center
ResearchExpanding the body of knowledge in public utility regulation,
market reform, and infrastructure operations (e.g. benchmarking studies of Peru, Uganda, Brazil and Central America)
Education Teaching the principles and practices that support effective utility
policy and regulation (e.g. PURC/World Bank International Training Program on Utility Regulation and Strategy offered each January and June)
ServiceEngaging in outreach activities that provide ongoing professional
development and promote improved regulatory policy and infrastructure management (e.g. in-country training and university collaborations)

FPSC Order PSC-06-035 1-PAA-E1Florida would be better served by consolidating utility resources through a centrally coordinated
research and development effort with universities as well as research organizations. The purpose of such
effort would be to further the development of storm resilient electric utility infrastructure and
technologies that reduce storm restoration costs and outages to customers.

Conclusions• Stakeholders can accomplish goals as a
cooperative that they cannot achieve alone
• Regulatory leadership required to initiate this cooperative effort
• Cost effectiveness of relocating power lines depends on many factors – no easy answers
• Modeling effort can lead to better allocation of scarce utility resources
