MAISY On-Site Revenue and Cost Management Workshop
Developing Regulated Utility and ESP Strategies to Maximize Revenue
and Minimize Cost and Risk
A one-half day on-site MAISY Revenue and Cost Management (RCM) workshop describes
and evaluates RCM issues for regulated and competitive utilities and energy
service providers. MAISY Revenue and Cost Management
Applications provide electric utilities and ESPs immediate options to
reduce costs, increase revenues and better manage risk by focusing on individual
customers and considering interactions and feedbacks of initiatives in rate
design, energy services, load management, DG, capacity expansion, economic
development and other areas.

Workshop Leader
This workshop is led by Dr. Jerry Jackson, president of Jackson
Associates, an internationally-recognized expert with over twenty -five
years experience in energy, technology and market analysis. His early work
includes extensive analysis of commercial and residential end-use energy,
development of the first commercial sector end-use model at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory in 1976 and its application in developing the Carter Administration's
National Energy Plan. In 1979, Dr. Jackson became Chief of the Applied Research
Division and a Senior Research Scientist at the Georgia Tech Research Institute
where he headed the EPRI research effort to develop the COMMEND commercial
sector end-use forecasting model.
Since 1981, Dr. Jackson has provided proprietary residential and commercial
end-use models (REDMS and CEDMS) and market databases (MAISY® ) through
his firm, Jackson Associates (JA). REDMS and CEDMS have been widely used
for DSM and Integrated Resource Planning by electric utilities and state
agencies. MAISY utility customer databases and analysis software are the
energy industry's leading source of commercial and residential energy, hourly
load data, profitability and profiling analysis (see
JA Clients).
Dr. Jackson's experience also includes analyzing markets for new technologies
and forecasting market penetration of new energy-related technologies. Over
the past twenty-five years Dr. Jackson has conducted new technology market
analysis for DOE, GSA, OMB, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, NREL, state agencies
and electric utilities. He developed market penetration estimates for solar
and coal technologies for the Department of Energy and provided independent
assessments of solar energy market penetration to the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory . Dr. Jackson developed and applied market penetration
models for conservation technologies offered by several dozen utilities
throughout the US. These analysis results were used to determine appropriate
DSM marketing efforts before a dozen public service commissions. Model forecasts
were used to set marketing targets for many of these utilities.
Dr. Jackson has served as a consultant to the California Energy Commission,
the Electric Power Research Institute, Washington State University, Colorado
School of Mines, the Solar Energy Research Institute, Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the states of Colorado, Indiana,
Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas and several dozen utilities. At
DOE's request, he conducted a series of focus group sessions to help guide
future DOE data collection and database development. He has also served as
a consultant to DOE on various database and data development issues.
He has advised existing electric and gas utilities, ESCOs and new market
entrants including some of the most successful new energy service providers
on developing competitive market strategies. Dr. Jackson has been intimately
involved in developing detailed competitive strategies for new energy markets
including advising a major financial institution on competitive market
profitability, developing customer profitability scoring models for utilities
and new energy service providers, providing customer hourly load data for
strategic pricing analysis, advising new energy market entrants on customer
profitability and targeting and other issues.
Dr. Jackson is widely published in both academic and industry publications
including Public Utilities Fortnightly, Electrical World, Energy, Energy
Policy, Review of Economics and Statistics, Land Economics, Journal of Business
Administration, Journal of Urban Economics and Journal of Risk and
Insurance. Additional research has been published in dozens of technical
reports for clients.
Dr. Jackson holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Florida with
specialties in econometrics and regional economics.
