Markets & Regulation
Markets have a strong influence on how energy is bought, sold, traded, and forecasted. Paired with regulations—at the federal, state, and local levels—these forces shape our energy landscape.
Recent Work
Digest
In the United States, there is no national electricity policy. Reaching nationally defined decarbonization targets in the electricity sector, without a national electricity policy, while maintaining grid reliability, is a growing challenge.
Digest
The number of homeowners that buy energy storage is skyrocketing, but installations are often not profitable. Explore why individuals still buy batteries, for which households they are useful, and how valuing greenness helped this technology grow.
Carbon Pricing
Digest
