Key Terms

3 terms

certified public accountant financial

"He is a licensed certified public accountant in the State of Georgia."

A certified public accountant (CPA) is a licensed accounting professional who has passed rigorous exams and met education and experience requirements to prepare, review, and officially certify financial statements and tax filings. For investors, a CPA's involvement is like a neutral referee confirming that a company's reported numbers are accurate and follow accounting rules, which improves trust in financial reports and lowers the risk of unexpected errors or misleading information.

rate case regulatory

"financial expertise and leadership throughout the rate case make him particularly well qualified"

A rate case is a formal process where a company, like a utility, asks regulators to approve higher or lower prices for its services. It matters because the decision affects how much consumers pay and how much the company can earn, impacting everyone's financial interests.

battery storage technical

"a diverse mix of energy sources, including natural gas, nuclear, renewable energy and battery storage."

Battery storage is a system that stores electricity in large rechargeable batteries so power can be used later, like a reusable fuel tank for the grid. Investors care because it smooths out when energy is available vs. when it’s needed, can lower costs, create new revenue from selling stored power at peak times, and reduce reliance on unpredictable energy sources, affecting utility and clean-energy company valuations.
