Jeffrey Foose, Managing Member.
Previously held a senior commodities role at a New York broker-dealer, and was Managing Director of Energy Trading at PSEG Energy Resources & Trade.
Advisory work has included asset owners, trading firms, funds, strategy teams, market-data and exchange organizations, and counsel. Engagements are confidential. He has given extensive federal and state expert testimony on commodity valuation, forward curves, and damages.
He spent more than a decade on a municipal land-use board, including as chairman, hearing applications and applying local zoning and planning ordinances. That is the process that decides whether a project gets built. He advises owners and developers who have to take a physical energy asset through that room.
How to engage
Work starts with a short scoping call, then a defined mandate. That is usually a curve and contract review, a systems or trading-process design, transaction advice, expert support, or preparation for a county or municipal land-use hearing on a physical energy asset.
Send the problem, the market, and the timeline.
County and municipal siting
A project can clear the market and still stall in a land-use hearing. Boards approve a use they can write findings for, not ISO economics.
The hearing decides whether the asset exists. The curve decides whether it pays. Aeris is built for owners who have to win both rooms: a former chairman of a land-use board who has also marked, managed, and traded the book.
