A changing of the guard is occurring at Energy Regulation Quarterly (ERQ). This issue is the last with Rowland Harrison at the editorial helm. Rowland has steered the ERQ since its inception in 2013, in partnership with Gordon Kaiser until Gordon’s untimely death last year, and since then alone. Over the past 11 years of his service, he has offered insightful analysis, creative thinking, and a rigorous and professional editorial pen. Throughout, Rowland has been a complete pleasure to work with. His editorial guidance has been marked by extraordinary patience: editing a journal like ERQ with diverse personalities of the legal scholars it encounters isn’t easy. Rowland would demure from comment on this point I am sure, because in addition to all of his other attributes, he is a gentleman of the first order. But I can say from close observation that he helped us through many trials and tribulations. On a personal note, I have only seen him truly light up when describing some of the operatic performances he and his wife Alex delight in. As Rowland steps away from his editorial responsibilities at the ERQ, I hope this transition allows them even more time to enjoy many beautiful performances together!

At the same time, this also marks the occasion for the introduction of our two new editors, Karen Taylor and Moin Yahya. We are once again blessed with a depth of talent. Both are former regulators, Karen at the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and Moin at the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC). Both have written extensively on regulatory issues and the interplay of law and policy, which is at the heart of economic regulation. They also bring experience in business and academics to the table. We are once again in excellent hands, and I look forward to working with the two of them to build on the already established reputation of this important journal. Welcome, Karen and Moin!
