If you’ve ever wondered whether staying on top of regulatory filings is really worth the cost—here’s something to think about: the energy market doesn’t forgive mistakes. It fines them. Heavily.
At PR Quinlan, we’ve seen it firsthand. Companies who entered new markets assuming they could “figure it out later” ended up facing:
In extreme cases, it’s even led to full business failure. And here’s the hard truth: nearly every one of those outcomes could have been avoided with better information up front.
Knowing what’s coming—before you act—isn’t just smart. It’s essential.
With the Policy Plugin, you’re not reacting to compliance issues. You’re preparing for them.
We alert you to:
This isn’t just a list of bullet points. It’s context. It’s human-led analysis telling you why something matters—and what you should do about it.
New market? New risks.
If you’re expanding into a state or province with unfamiliar regulatory territory, a misstep can delay your go-to-market plan by months. We’ve seen startups pour capital into growth, only to stall because they didn’t understand how to get licensed—or how to stay compliant once they did.
Our clients who plan ahead?
As Frank Caliva put it, “Every company thinks they’re different. But the ones that survive are the ones who ask for help up front.”
One of our clients—now a leading energy retailer—was entering a new region with complex broker licensing rules. They considered skipping our insights and “figuring it out as they go.”
Instead, they spent $10K on a customized strategic briefing.
That investment uncovered two licensing nuances that would have invalidated their contracts. We helped them adjust before launch.
That decision likely saved them over $1 million in lost contracts, legal fees, and reapplication delays.
You can either spend a little now—or spend a lot later. When you partner with PR Quinlan, you're buying foresight, clarity, and peace of mind. Because in energy policy, what you don’t know really can hurt you.
