Established in the 1994, the National Council on Electricity Policy is a joint venture among the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), and the National Governor's Association (NGA). The National Council was formed to assist policymakers with the challenges posed by the dramatic changes brought about by the reexamination of the traditional franchise electric system. The National Council was initially created through funding by Department of Energy's (DOE), which continues to be the primary source of funding for the National Council. |
