The project will examine the adaptability and cost-effectiveness of business models, policies, and technologies currently used in the Northeast and California to the traditionally vertically-integrated structure of the utility industry in the Southeast. A policy brief will be produced that includes a final report and a business plan on the overall analysis and the outcome of multiple research-related meetings with collaborators and stakeholders.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPotential Collaborators:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Southern Company, the Tennessee Valley Authority, University of Tennessee, Oak Ridge National Lab, Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s Climate and Energy Policy Laboratory, Center for Distributed Energy, and the Ray C.
