What is Analysis Group for Regional Energy Alternatives?

In matters related to federal, regional, and state energy, climate, and other environmental policies, we have worked with clients on emission market design, renewable-portfolio standard design and evaluation, renewable-asset market valuation, emission allowance pricing and impact assessment, and clean energy development and commercialization.

Our engagements have targeted specific renewable technologies and related infrastructures, as well as energy-efficiency technologies, programs, and policies, including the impacts on energy-intensive, trade-sensitive industries. Our modeling capabilities play a critical role in our policy analyses.

Analysis of environmental and economic effectiveness of proposed environmental regulations, including policies targeting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water regulation
Modeling of the economic and power-system impacts of climate and other clean energy laws and regulations
Analysis of CO2 emissions policy for electricity generators
Development of potential compliance mechanisms for proposed federal climate regulations, and drafting monitoring and verification guidelines for energy-efficiency compliance approaches
Testimony before state and federal agencies and legislatures on climate policy designs
Development of white papers and public comments on the design of GHG cap-and-trade systems
Analysis of environmental and economic effectiveness of the low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS)
Internal assessment and comment on California climate policy development
Assessment of the implications of high-penetration intermittent and demand-side resources for electric system costs, emissions, and performance
Development of policy options regarding transmission facilities to integrate offshore wind power
Modeling of economy-wide energy savings from technology firms’ portfolios of products and services
Collaboration on corporate strategy to create greenhouse gas reduction commitments

Analysis of financial incentives for utilities to invest in energy efficiency and other demand-side resources
Assessment of policy design, costs and benefits, and cost-recovery policies for renewable energy credits (RECs), clean energy standards (CES), and energy-efficiency resource standards (EERS)
Estimation of the economic value of clean energy resources
Analysis of options for long-term contracts with different energy projects with different cost, emission, and risk profiles
Estimation of the embedded cost of energy in water, and development of water pricing and water allocation approaches
