The Commission will be charged with making recommendations to the legislature to establish a state energy policy based on principles of reliability, efficiency, affordability and diversity.

There is no single silver bullet solution. This will require a comprehensive examination of new types of energy sources and technologies comprising a mosaic of solutions,” said O’Brien.
Dr. O’Brien has expertise in restructuring and functioning of the electric and natural gas markets and infrastructure in the United States and Canada, investment banking and analysis in the energy sector; founding and building energy businesses, clean-coal technologies; generation plant siting, permitting and project finance, mergers and acquisitions, mineral-rights and royalty issues and energy-management and accounting systems.
