Paul Hudson

Managing Principal

For the better part of two decades, I’ve been an active participant in, and observer of the extraordinarily profound transition of the Texas and US power sector. Founder and Managing Principle of Osprey Energy Group, a boutique power sector advising firm based in Austin, I currently work with a variety of energyrelated interests, providing strategic guidance to power industry stakeholders with interests and emerging interests in ERCOT and utility regulation, primarily in the US. Prior to entering the private sector in 2008, I spent almost a decade as a state energy and telecommunications regulator (in two separate stretches) – including 5 years as an appointee of the Governor – serving as Commissioner and Chairman of the three-member Texas Public Utility Commission.

I also served (reverse sequentially) in a variety of other policy roles including Director of Policy and Deputy Director of Policy to Governor Rick Perry of Texas, Advisor to Commissioner Brett Perlman of the Texas Commission, and as a member of the Commission policy development staff under former FERC and PUCT Chair Pat Wood. In 2012, I was appointed by Secretary Chu to serve a two-year term on the Department of Energy’s Energy Advisory Committee. I was subsequently reappointed by Secretary Moniz to serve out a one-year term that I completed in Summer, 2015. Amongst a number of opportunities, standout professional experiences have included service as: • Member of the Board of Directors of the Electric Reliability Counciil of Texas (ERCOT); • Chair, Board of Directors of the Center for Commercialization of Electric Technologies, which administered a $28 million matching grant under ARRA, 2009 for a SmartGrid Demonstration Project; • Independent Director, CLEAResult. During my tenure the company transitioned through a private equity round with Boston-based General Catalyst, to its current equity partner. During that tenure the company consummated 7 acquisitions and grew from approximately $35 million to $250 million in revenue. • Member of the FERC/NARUC Collaborative on Demand Response; • State Policy Advisor to Advanced Energy Economy; • State Policy Advisor to the Galvin Electricity Initiative; • Advisory Director to GridNet, a SmartGrid Communications Platform provider. • Western Governor’s Association Working Group on Cross Border Energy Issues; and, I currently live in Austin, TX with Shannon, my wife of nearly two decades, and our three children.
