Making Energy Markets Work in Ohio -- A Live Audio Event, February 1, 2008, 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM EST

Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) January 5, 2008 -- Ohio thinks of itself as the state that actually decides who will become the US president. Some want to see the state set the example for developing electricity markets, too. Lawmakers once did decide in favor of competition and now may be ready to make markets really work.

Join Restructuring Today, the nation's leading trade publication chronicling ongoing efforts to open competitive energy markets, and this panel of Ohio policymakers and energy industry leaders on Friday, February 1, 2008 from noon to 1:30 PM EST for a live, interactive audio discussion on making competitive electricity markets work in Ohio:

Schriber also chairs the Ohio Power Siting Board that reviews, evaluates and approves the siting of electric generation plants and electric and natural gas transmission lines. He regularly testifies before the Ohio General Assembly on various utility issues and legislation and has testified before Congress.
