“EUCI programs, speakers and content are consistently on point with industry developments and a valuable knowledge and shared experience resource.”
Policy Advisor, Public Utility Commission of Nevada“EUCI offers a careful balance of continuing education, thought-provoking discussion, and networking.”
SVP, Regulatory & External Affairs, Baltimore Gas and ElectricAs utilities respond to changing customer needs, rapid load growth, affordability pressures, and new policy priorities, rate design is becoming increasingly complex. Traditional regulatory and pricing approaches are evolving alongside new incentive frameworks, more dynamic rate structures, and changing expectations for how costs and risks should be shared among utilities and customers.
The 2026 EUCI US Annual Rate Design Conference will bring together utility, regulatory, consumer, and industry perspectives to examine how these changes are playing out in practice. Through comparative regulatory discussions and current utility case studies, the program will explore incentive regulation models, dynamic and time-varying pricing, and the growing challenges surrounding large loads and customer affordability.
Attendees will hear how different jurisdictions and utilities are approaching formula rates, multi-year rate plans, hourly and real-time pricing, time-of-use structures, and emerging large-load considerations, while examining the lessons these experiences offer for the future of utility rate design.
