Rossi serves on the Advisory Council for the Electric Power Research Institute. He formerly was the Harry M.

Rossi has authored publications that deal with legal framework governing energy transitions in the U.S., including federalism,[5] judicial oversight of energy markets,[6] public utility regulation,[7] and "stranded cost" issues.[8] His 2019 Cornell Law Review article "Energy Exactions" (coauthored with Vanderbilt Law Professor Chris Serkin)[9] received the 2020 Morrison Prize for the most impactful sustainability-related legal academic article published in North America during the previous year.[10] Rossi has also published on administrative law. "Agency Coordination in Shared Regulatory Space" (a 2012 Harvard Law Review article coauthored with Harvard Professor Jody Freeman)[11] inspired a study and policy recommendations on agency coordination adopted in 2012 by the Administrative Conference of the United States.[12]
