2010 UAE Conference Attendees


UAE Forum

UAE provides a forum for information sharing among members, in order to understand market forces and to maintain continuity in regulatory policy. UAE develops and maintains contact with key decision-makers, regulators and major stakeholders within the Rocky Mountain energy supply region. UAE evaluates existing energy tariffs and proposed changes, intervenes on behalf of members regarding local utility rate filings before the Utah Public Service Commission and monitors state and federal legislation that affect large customers.

Monthly Meetings

UAE members meet on a monthly basis to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. Monthly meetings feature national and state speakers with insight into federal, regional, and state policy. Market experts also provide updates on activities which affect the price of energy inputs.

Information Updates

UAE provides its members with regulatory and legislative updates, as well as a weekly Energy Bulletin. This bulletin includes regional and national pricing information for natural gas and electricity, and other relevant market information.
