About National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners funds the technical work that supports state utility regulators, with recent grants aimed at emergency preparedness, cybersecurity, market monitoring, and regulatory training. The largest listed award went to Converge Strategies LLC for support for the Emergency Preparedness, Recovery, and Resiliency Task Force and related activities, showing how the association backs practical work tied to resilience and response. Other sizeable grants went to Neos Group Inc for cybersecurity energy regulatory training and to The Cadmus Group LLC for technical assistance, reinforcing a pattern of consultant-led support for commissions and related regulatory projects. The association’s grantmaking also reaches into policy research and sector-specific guidance. It funded white papers on intervenor compensation and on nuclear energy as a keystone clean energy resource, along with work on coal-to-hydrogen opportunities and challenges. It has also supported training and tools for regulators, including work on digitization, state electricity policy, smart grid technical assistance, and curriculum development for regulatory accounting. The recent grants show an organization focused on the operational side of energy regulation rather than direct service delivery.
