Frank Felder is the Director of the Center for Energy, Economic and Environmental Policy at the Rutgers' Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Frank’s primary research area is the reliability and efficiency of restructured electric power systems. He has published widely in professional and academic journals on market power and mitigation, wholesale market design, reliability, transmission planning, market power, and rate design issues. He has conducted several market power analyses and has testified before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and several state utility commissions on market power and mitigation. Frank is a reviewer for several academic journals including The Energy Journal and the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems.

In addition to his academic work, Frank has consulted for a wide variety of electric industry clients including utilities, an independent system operator, energy management companies, and generators, particularly in the Northeast. He has worked on wholesale market designs in New England, New York, and PJM including policies to accommodate price-responsive load and distributed resources in wholesale markets. He has also conducted studies to evaluate the benefits of two wholesale natural gas pipelines switching from a cost-of-service rate structure to an incentive-based system.
