The Commonwealth Energy Public Policy Office shall evaluate the qualifications submitted by those interested in being considered to represent the private industry in the evaluation committee and shall select said representative on or before thirty (30) days after the qualification submittal period concludes.

In its notice, the Commonwealth Energy Public Policy shall note the foregoing and shall encourage all those interested in being considered to form consortiums and to jointly submit the person they have selected to be considered by the Commonwealth Energy Public Policy Office.
