Insights into Current Trends
Energy Infrastructure
Highlights from our recent and ongoing work
Our nation’s energy system is in the process of being reshaped by shifts in policy, developments in technologies, and changes in both industrial and consumer demand. Within this evolving landscape, a broad range of stakeholders – investors, project developers, regulators, politicians, funders, financial institutions, and consumers – all are discussing and strategizing ways to improve the country’s critical energy infrastructure.
This page features examples from Analysis Group’s recent and ongoing contributions to the policy, regulatory, and economic trends shaping the development of energy infrastructure. We hope that our examples help deepen stakeholders’ understanding of effective approaches for managing these critical issues.
