Ken Malloy's testimony before the Alabama Public Service Commission on behalf of the state Attorney General's office was reported on in the Mobile Register: "Advocates say power customers would benefit from lower prices," April 19, 2000.

Charlotte Legates, Energy.com, "Putting a Number on Competition," April 11, 2000:

"From the Superbowl to the Pillsbury Bake-Off, Americans love contests. So it's not surprising that, when the Center for the Advancement of Energy Markets issued its Retail Energy Deregulation Index, people took notice...."


From Energy Competition Strategy Report, "How does your state measure up among deregulated markets?" April 2000:

"The man who calls himself a 'policy wonk' and 'unabashed market freak' has come up with a way to 'provide assistance to public policymakers in making an effective transition from a monopoly model to the choice model.'

"That man is Ken Malloy, founder and president of the ... Center for the Advancement of Energy Markets...."


From Utility Spotlight, "New York, Pennsylvania Top Nation in Progress Toward Restructuring," March 6, 2000:

"Despite a recent report that showed only around 120,000 customers out of New York's more than 7.2 million electric customers have decided to switch to alternative power marketers, a new index of the progress states are making toward electric industry restructuring ranks New York second only to Pennsylvania...."


From Public Utility Fortnightly, "Energy Innovators: Ringing in an Age of Enlightenment," December 1999, pages 49-61:

Ken Malloy--Policy Guru, No Strings Attached: 

"Industry restructuring at the retail level is phenomenally more difficult than anything we were dealing with at the wholesale level during my days in the federal government," Malloy explains.

"You've got three classes of customers--large industrial, medium commercial and mass market residential--each with very different needs.  So you're going to need three different revolutions to prepare the retail market.  Add to that the complexity of restructuring in 50 different states....

"All of this led me to conclude that retail competition wasn't working the way I'd hoped, and was going to require a lot more work than we first thought."

At press time, Malloy was preparing the first set of initiatives at the newly formed CAEM, aimed in no small part at securing funding to allow him to offer services without regard to depth of pocket.

Can a think tank survive without tying itself to a group of stakeholders? Malloy believes that his Center can do just that. (p. 59)


From Natural Gas Intelligence, "Utilities opening the heartland to choice, sort of," July 5, 1999:

"[Malloy called for the industry] to move from ... passive access to choice to active access. Consistency is needed among state unbundling programs so marketers can participate economically on a national basis. Efforts to educate consumers need to begin earlier in the choice process. And gas and power convergence can be harnessed to drive choice initiatives."
