ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America’s leading management consulting firms specializing in energy, has released its Fall 2022 issue of the ScottMadden Energy Industry Update themed “Money, Money, Money.” Listen in to this On-Demand Webcast as ScottMadden energy experts share their views related to:
-
Cost and Affordability – The past several years have seen rising generation fuel prices, growing investment in electric infrastructure, and continued buildout of low-carbon-emitting resources. We expect many utilities to grow their investments as they pursue net-zero objectives. As these costs eventually work their way into rates, utilities and regulators must consider the trajectory of energy costs and their impact on affordability.
-
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 – Less than a year after passing major federal infrastructure legislation, Congress has passed $369 billion+ legislation containing energy- and climate-related incentives and investments. Much work lies ahead in organizing and deploying programs under the IRA, while energy companies consider which investments will be most beneficial to their respective businesses.
-
Integrated Distribution Planning – Numerous utilities are deploying grid modernization programs to update grid facilities, enhance demand response and efficiency, facilitate distributed resource deployment, and prepare for increased electrification. But end-user characteristics such as widespread vehicle electrification remain years away. How do you plan, develop, and recover investment in a grid that can accommodate a distributed future?
