Meet Our Executive Team
Keith Beall
Regulatory Counsel, Fair Rates Alliance
Keith is a utility attorney with three decades of experience across state commissions, wholesale markets, and rate case litigation. He serves as lead counsel for FRA, managing all legal filings, strategy, and regulatory proceedings before the IURC and other agencies.
Utility Law Strategist | Former IURC Judge | Rate Case Closer
Keith Beall is the Fair Rates Alliance’s lead regulatory counsel — and the legal force behind our most important wins.
With over 30 years of experience spanning public, private, and independent utility sectors, Keith has built one of the most formidable utility law résumés in the Midwest. He’s served on both sides of the regulatory bench — as a former Administrative Law Judge at the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) and as Chief Deputy at the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) — giving him an insider’s view into how rates are justified, how cost burdens are shifted, and how to shut it all down with legal precision.
Keith’s background also includes senior in-house counsel roles at MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator), where he helped navigate some of the most complex wholesale power, transmission, and renewable energy challenges in the country. He’s represented utilities, municipalities, and business clients before regulatory bodies in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota, and Kentucky, and has appeared in state and federal courts to litigate utility issues on behalf of public and private clients.
But what sets Keith apart — and what makes him so critical to FRA — is how he operates inside rate cases, TDSIC plans, DSM dockets, and stakeholder proceedings. He’s not just a lawyer; he’s a rate structure strategist, a cross-examiner of padded budgets, and a watchdog over utility math.
Working closely with the FRA leadership team, Keith has:
Led successful legal interventions that cut millions from proposed rate hikes
Dissected bloated utility filings to expose unjustified spending and unfair subsidies
Crafted high-leverage regulatory strategies that force accountability and shift power back to energy users
Keith is not a partner or internal staff. He’s retained legal counsel — and deliberately so. He remains independent to focus squarely on advocating for our members’ interests — not playing politics or toeing industry lines.
Keith holds a J.D. from the University of Dayton School of Law and a B.S. in Finance from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. He is admitted to practice in Indiana state and federal courts and serves as a longtime member of the Indiana State Bar Association Utility & Environmental Law Sections.
Jonathan Burke
Co-Founder at Tactical Energy Group & Fair Rates Alliance
Jon brings over 40 years of experience in energy management, public-sector project delivery, and utility regulation. He leads the operational and expert witness strategies that support FRA’s interventions and ensure technical credibility in every case.
Energy Operations Veteran | Public-Sector Cost Killer | Regulatory Sharp-Shooter
Jonathan Burke has spent four decades turning energy waste into long-term savings, inflated utility proposals into courtroom wins, and limited public budgets into high-performance infrastructure.
As Founder of Tactical Energy Group (TEG) and Co-Founder of the Fair Rates Alliance (FRA), Jon is a rare force in the energy world — one of the few who can both execute at the facility level and fight at the regulatory level. He has personally led some of Indiana’s most celebrated energy overhauls, saving tens of millions of dollars for public entities and commercial users across the Midwest.
As South Bend’s first Energy Director, Jon:
Delivered $17 million in verified energy savings, with an additional $17 million on track
Oversaw the full CNG transition of the city’s transit and police fleets, including the nation’s first severe-duty CNG cruiser
Led the installation of a hydroelectric turbine on the St. Joseph River
Designed and executed the state’s most decorated energy performance contract, a $10.3M net-zero-cost upgrade for St. Joseph County
His field-tested playbook became the foundation for TEG — an organization known for deploying no- and low-capital energy savings strategies in sectors where capital is scarce but cost pressure is high.
Jon’s operational expertise naturally expanded into the regulatory arena. In 2012, he took part in his first utility rate case intervention, and he’s since become a trusted expert witness in major IURC cases, particularly those involving NIPSCO. His testimony and analysis have directly contributed to multi-million-dollar reductions in proposed rate hikes and cost shifts that would have hammered Indiana’s business community.
Today, Jon stands at the center of the Alliance’s operational and regulatory strategy — a trusted authority who understands how costs are created, how they’re justified, and how to dismantle them before they hit your bottom line.
Daniel Burke
Co-Founder at Tactical Energy Group & Fair Rates Alliance
Daniel leads the Fair Rates Alliance with a focus on commercial consumer advocacy, long-term strategic planning, and novel tactics development. He builds the systems that help businesses reduce utility risk, lower costs, and gain leverage in energy policy and rate design.
Builder of Countermeasures | Strategic Operator | Relentless on Execution
Daniel Burke builds countermeasures — for broken systems, rigged processes, and cost structures designed to squeeze businesses that don’t have a seat at the table.
As Founder and CEO of the Fair Rates Alliance (FRA), he leads one of the only legal and regulatory teams in the country focused exclusively on defending small and mid-sized businesses from runaway utility costs and systemic bias. The Alliance fights inside rate cases, capital plans, subsidy schemes, and infrastructure filings — and it wins.
Daniel is also Co-Founder and CEO of Tactical Energy Group (TEG), where he’s built a real-time energy intelligence platform that helps businesses control cost, power quality, and performance risk at the facility level — turning a passive utility bill into an active business system.
Together, FRA and TEG form a closed loop:
FRA blocks bad costs from entering the system
TEG eliminates the ones already inside
What sets Daniel apart isn’t theory — it’s structure. He doesn’t just identify risk — he builds systems that neutralize it, and then scale.
His work has already helped companies avoid millions in costs and regain control over one of the most unpredictable overhead expenses in business.
