Experience

William Hogan is the Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Public Policy and Administration at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. Professor Hogan is research director of the Harvard Electricity Policy Group (HEPG), which is exploring the issues involved in the transition to a more competitive electricity market.  He also serves as director of the Ph.D. Programs, in Public Policy and in Political Economy and Government, at the Kennedy School of Government.  He has also served as director of the Master in Public Policy (MPP) program at the Kennedy School. He has been a member of the faculty of Stanford University, where he founded the Energy Modeling Forum, and he is a past president of the International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE).  Currently Professor Hogan is a director of LECG, LLC, of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Professor Hogan is the principal architect of pricing and transmission rights systems based on locational marginal cost pricing (LMP) that efficiently price the effects of congestion.  He pioneered the development of financial transmission rights (FTR) systems now in use in New York and in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) area that allow market participants to hedge congestion costs. Professor Hogan has worked with and testified before the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), state regulatory commissions, and other organizations on a variety of energy topics, including the development of market mechanisms.  He has written widely on these topics as well. Professor Hogan received his undergraduate degree from the U.S. Air Force Academy and his Ph.D. from UCLA.
