Jerrold Oppenheim A graduate of Harvard College and Boston College Law School (Juris Doctor), Jerrold Oppenheim directed energy and utility litigation for the Attorneys General of New York and Massachusetts. In his 30+-year career, he has played a key role in the development of regulatory policy in US states as legal counsel and advisor for state governments, consumer organizations, low-income advocates, labor unions, environmental interests, industrial customers, and utilities. Oppenheim directed consumer and utility legal assistance programs for low-income clients in New York and Chicago for the US federal government's legal assistance program. He was founding Director of Renewable Energy Techology Analysis at Pace University Law School and, most recently, directed the energy and telecommunications program at the National Consumer Law Center, a non-profit law firm based in Boston. Oppenheim led pioneering negotiations of energy conservation agreements with the electricity and natural gas utilities in Massachusetts and has won precedent-setting cases on low-income discounts, utility plant siting, investment in generating plant, service quality standards, discriminatory credit and marketing practices, and rate design. He has lectured and published widely in the US and internationally on public utility and consumer law topics, including recent monographs for the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), AARP (formerly the American Association of Retired Persons), the National Council on Competition and the Electric Industry, the European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) and, with Theo MacGregor, the International Labour Office (ILO) of the United Nations, The Bergen Conference (Norway), the Confederation of State and Municipal Employees (BSRB, Iceland), and the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

Theo MacGregor Theo MacGregor founded MacGregor Energy Consultancy in 1998, specializing in electric industry restructuring issues in general, consumer, low-income, and energy efficiency issues in particular. She has provided expert analysis on electric industry regulation, performance-based ratemaking, energy efficiency program design, social programs in the utility sector, advocacy before regulatory and legislative bodies, and international regulation for regulatory commissions, government agencies, utilities, and US and international NGOs. Prior to founding her own firm, Ms. MacGregor spent more than ten years with the Electric Power Division of the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Energy (DTE) (the state's utility regulator), most recently as Acting Director. In her decade with the DTE, Ms. MacGregor led the agency's efforts to develop policies and procedures for guiding the restructuring of the electric industry, including codes of conduct to govern the relationship between regulated utilities and their unregulated affiliates. She instituted the practice of involving regulatory staff in settlement negotiations for energy conservation cases and worked closely with utility companies and many other stakeholders to develop consensus positions. Prior to her utility work, Ms. MacGregor was a social worker for the state of Massachusetts and a history and social studies teacher in New Jersey and Michigan. Ms. MacGregor holds an MBA from Simmons College School of Management in Boston, Massachusetts.
