Integrated Resource Planning

NERA has assisted many electric utility clients in incorporating environmental risk into their resource planning exercises through integrated resource assessments. In such assessments, NERA experts construct different long-term outlooks for key uncertainties faced by the sector, one of the most important of which is environmental regulation and policy. Using our world-class modeling capabilities, NERA evaluates how different investment decisions would fare in each of the different outlooks, while helping clients to assign probabilities to the different outcomes.
 
Then NERA conducts a detailed risk assessment of each of the potential investments to aid companies in making the best investment decisions possible, given the immense uncertainties in the markets in which they operate.
