Strategy & Planning

“Our relationship with energy is the story of humanity. It’s about people’s lives, economic well-being, futures, and the health and well-being of our planet.”

“VEIR is building a new generation of high-capacity transmission lines that can go over long distances, giving five to ten times more power in the same right-of-way space used with a conventional conductor.”

“The cherry on top of those factors, according to the UN Conference on Trade and Development, is inflows of foreign direct investment in Africa yield the highest return, more than any other region.”

“The rating agencies collect ESG data from various sources, including direct communication with companies, company disclosures, regulatory filings, industry reports, and third-party data providers.”

“As highlighted in Guidehouse’s “State and Future of the Power Industry” 2023 report, utilities are increasingly embracing the changing world in which they operate and making critical investments to achieve their goals.”

“Utilities are in different stages of development on this journey. Those on the leading edge are viewing risk differently and are open to taking thoughtful, calculated risks as a business imperative for the potential benefit of progress and innovation.”

“We modeled the job creation and economic benefits of the renewable energy projects that PJM will attempt to pass through the interconnection queue in the next four years as PJM implements reforms recently approved by FERC.”

“While this iteration of the CFO role is just emerging, it reflects an expanded view given industry direction – the CFO as a strategic architect at the center of the business.”

“There’s no question that working with the government at the highest levels gets results. The leadership from the White House, what we’ve seen from DOE, has changed how the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and others show up. We’re working with the FAA as well, and with DOE’s National Labs on important technologies.”

“Making sure that the IIJA and the IRA get executed well, there’s still a lot of devils in the details that need to be worked through with the agencies, like Treasury. Remaining engaged on those from a policy perspective, like looking at how that then leads to implementation, permitting, and siting reform is a big part.”
