Troutman episode explains Southeast vertically integrated utilities

Troutman Pepper Locke has published a podcast transcript episode on vertically integrated utilities and speed to power in the Southeast.

• Josh Combs and Andy Flavin discuss how vertically integrated utilities in the Southeast differ from RTO/deregulated markets, with generation, transmission, and distribution handled under one utility structure.
• The conversation explains how IRP and state commission oversight connect load growth, resource planning, and grid build-out over 10-25 years, with examples including Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
