Project Highlights

Stephanie was a senior consultant for Liberty’s recent audit of Verizon wholesale performance measures and incentive plans for the Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia Commissions, focusing on the areas of ordering, provisioning, and billing. She was also a senior consultant for Liberty’s audit of Verizon-New Jersey wholesale performance measures. She audited collocation and provisioning measures in Liberty’s audit of Qwest’s wholesale process and performance measures, and she conducted the analysis necessary to reconcile conflicting service-order and service-performance information between Qwest and several CLECs that took wholesale services from Qwest.

Stephanie also led Liberty’s analytical team on the audit of Ameritech-Ohio policies, procedures, and compliance with retail service quality performance requirements. She led the Liberty team that performed in-depth analyses of methods used by Ameritech to calculate performance measures, and conducted extensive recalculation of minimum telephone standard and merger-related performance measures.

Stephanie has been a key participant in virtually all of Liberty’s significant utility restructuring activities over the last several years as Liberty’s issues expert. For example, in Liberty’s work on a settlement of restructuring issues involving Public Service Company of New Hampshire for the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission, she provided research and analysis on a wide variety of issues including securitization, stranded cost recovery, standard offer pricing, generation asset valuation, rate and economic risk analysis, divestiture, and transmission and distribution rates.

Stephanie was a lead consultant on Liberty’s audit of Commonwealth Edison T&D revenue requirements, focusing on detailed and long-term analyses of capital spending and corporate-level costs. She was also a lead consultant on Liberty’s audit of affiliate relations of the New Jersey electric utilities, focusing on shared services and cost allocation issues.
