Electricity Challenge

Electricity consumers should benefit the lowest cost generation resources available, consistent with improved reliability and based on competitive procurements. By constructing generation resource portfolios that manage risks with prudent diversification, both public and private decision makers can achieve advantageous outcomes if they have, when provided current, decision ready economic information. New Energy Economics brings extensive experience creating these diverse portfolios.

New Energy Economics Solutions

Utility economists must account for competing interests and varying perspectives.

New Energy Economics acts as a catalyst to build recognition of the right questions to ask for consumers, regulators, and the utilities.

Consumers want the best prices without shocks to their bills from volatile gas fuel costs.

Regulators should protect consumers and achieve balance among competing values, providing lowest cost resource planning that achieves highest level of reliability.

Energy investors want to know what risks and levels of risks are presented among various utility portfolio investment options.

Southeast Programs

North Carolina

Our team provides utility economics analysis and expert witness testimony in proceedings before the North Carolina Utilities Commission. We have filed recommendations to improve the state’s Integrated Resource Plan Rules to allow for greater competition from renewable resource options that would benefit all rate payers. We have provided expert testimony to the Utility Commission on behalf of organizations such as the Clean Energy Buyers Association.

Georgia

Our team provides utility economic analysis and expert witness testimony in proceedings before the Georgia Public Service Commission, including Integrated Resource Plan, Rate Case, and Fuel Cost Recovery. We are working to resolve the unnecessary fuel cost burden on Georgia consumers, diversify resource portfolios to reduce risk, and modernize resource planning processes to expand competitive, all source planning that will reveal the lowest cost and reliable energy options and meet growing energy demand in the state.
