On behalf of the Office of the People’s Counsel for the District of Columbia, Clinic Director and Senior Economist Liz Stanton, PhD provided Applied Economics Clinic expert testimony to Formal Case No. 1162 before the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia. In her testimony, Dr. Stanton discussed Washington Gas Light Company's Application and rate proposals in the context of the CleanEnergy DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2018 and other relevant climate and clean energy goals. Dr. Stanton's analysis found that Washington Gas failed to meaningfully address or support the District's climate-related goals, including emission reductions, in an equitable and cost-effective manner.
