Policy Integrity’s State Policy Director, Elizabeth Stein, participated in a June 2024 National Academies of Sciences workshop titled “Electricity System Operability and Reliability Under Increasing Complexity.” NAS has now published the proceedings of the workshop, and Stein is credited as one of three independent reviewers on the workshop's official proceedings. In this role, she provided candid and critical comments to assist NAS in making the published proceedings as sound as possible.

On August 2nd and 3rd, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) hosted a Technical Conference in order to engage with stakeholders and investigate how the natural gas industry can best meet a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2006 levels by 2030. Jenn Danis gave plenary remarks on this topic during the second day of the conference. Her remarks focused on the need for holistic, long-term gas planning at the level of the state utility regulator. Without this planning, BPU will not be able to fulfill its responsibilities, which include ensuring just and reasonable rates for consumers as well as protecting gas utilities that will continue to provide crucial services for some time.
