Biography
Dr. Murphy is an engineer and economist with expertise in energy economics and competitive and regulatory economics and finance, in addition to a background in quantitative modeling and risk analysis. His work centers on the electric industry, encompassing issues such as resource and investment planning (including power and fuel price forecasting), climate change policy and analysis, valuation for contract disputes and asset transactions, competitive industry structure and market behavior, and market rules and mechanics.
He has addressed these issues in the context of business planning and strategy, regulatory hearings and compliance filings, and litigation. Dr. Murphy has examined these matters from the perspectives of investor-owned and public electric utilities, independent producers and investors, industry groups, regulators, system operators, and consumers.
