Information asymmetry arises when utilities have an advantage related to data access, modeling assumptions, and time and resources to develop evidence. This panel explored how utilities, stakeholders, and regulators can bridge the information gap, so consultation is meaningful and fair.
Mind the Information Gap in Consultation included moderator and Régie de l'énergie du Québec Commissioner Louis Legault, NASUCA President and Michigan Consumer Advocate Michael Moody, ESMIA President Kathleen Vaillancourt, and Net Zero Atlantic Director of Research Sven Scholtysik.

Moderator and Régie de l'énergie du Québec Commissioner Louis Legault: This session will deal with information asymmetry. It's the situation between the regulator and the regulated utility where in that relationship, information is more available and more directed by the utility. We understand that utilities will share the information they feel is necessary to obtain the results they're looking for.
