Harrisburg, PA – The chairs of the Maine and Massachusetts utility regulatory commissions are among the featured speakers at the Retail Energy Supply Association’s 2013 Energy Competition Symposium in Boston on Sept. 18. The half-day event will explore leading issues affecting retail energy competition nationally.
