Svantaggi
Entirety of business is under the thumb of various regulatory bodies, leading to a disjointed regulatory regime that company has to operate within. This makes it very difficult for the company to execute general business. Seemingly every interested party in regulatory proceedings take antagonistic view of company, including regulators, consequently most work is reactive rather than proactive. Currently, senior management is under taking a significant internal push to lower electric rates by reducing overall company expenses which will, in the medium term, result in lower total compensation and harder work environment. In addition, there is a too strong of a push to hire from certain demographics for management positions.
