ABOUT WES OWENS
Accomplished utility professional with a history of delivering optimum regulatory outcomes over 15 years in the investor owned utility industry. Skilled at representing my organization as a subject matter expert with regulators and legislators. Proficient both in technical aspects of utility ratemaking and in interpersonal abilities necessary to build critical relationships. Appropriately valuing the cost of service is a critical step in managing resources. I work within my organization to ensure authorized rates and revenues are sufficient to provide a safe and reliable source of water, to provide excellent customer service, and to provide fair pay and benefits to employees while also ensuring the long-term financial viability of the utility. My dual background in engineering and business allows me to facilitate communication between customers, elected officials, regulators, engineers, operators, accountants, and economists. I help groups and individuals within my organization identify priorities, build a business-case around and justify those priorities, and gain ultimate approval from decision makers. I am willing to advocate for challenging positions (rate increases, increased infrastructure investment, usage reductions, etc.) when they are in best interest of the utility and its customers.Specialties: Utility Ratemaking, Utility Management, Regulatory Compliance, Negotiation, Bridging Communication Gaps, Building Consensus, Achieving Approval from Decision-Makers
