Energy policy and regulation research
Stay ahead of federal and state energy policy changes. Research IRA provisions, FERC rulemakings, state RPS requirements, and international climate agreements that affect energy market fundamentals.
Research the current status of EPA power plant emissions rules for coal and gas generators. What compliance timelines apply and what is the expected impact on US generation capacity?
EPA finalized the Power Plant Rule in April 2024 requiring carbon capture or hydrogen co-firing for new baseload gas plants by 2035. Existing coal plants must retire or comply by 2039. Analysts estimate 35-50 GW of coal at risk of early retirement. NGCC with CCS capex adds ~$800/kW.

Renewable energy market analysis
Track solar and wind project pipelines, PPA pricing trends, and capacity additions by market. Research technology cost curves, interconnection backlogs, and competitive dynamics shaping the clean energy transition.
Research the current levelized cost of energy for utility solar, onshore wind, and offshore wind in the US market. Include financing assumptions and how costs have changed since 2020.
US LCOE (2024): Utility solar $32-45/MWh, onshore wind $29-56/MWh, offshore wind $72-140/MWh. Solar and onshore wind down 15-20% since 2020 despite inflation. Offshore wind up 25-40% due to supply chain and interest rate pressures. NREL ATB 2024 data.

Energy data visualization
Convert raw energy data — generation mix, price series, load profiles, and capacity additions — into professional charts for reports, presentations, and client deliverables.
Create a stacked bar chart showing the US electricity generation mix by fuel type (coal, gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, other) for each year from 2015 to 2023.
Generated stacked bar chart. Notable trends: coal share declined from 33% (2015) to 16% (2023). Gas rose from 33% to 43%. Solar + wind combined grew from 5% to 16%. Nuclear remained stable at 19-20%. Clear transition toward gas and renewables visible.

Country and regional energy market research
Research energy markets in specific countries or regions for cross-border project development, trade analysis, or regulatory advisory. Pull sovereign energy statistics, infrastructure data, and policy frameworks.
Research the energy market structure in Germany: electricity mix, key generators, RES policy targets, and recent market reforms after the nuclear phaseout.
Germany 2023: Renewables 59% of generation (wind 36%, solar 12%, hydro/bio 11%). Nuclear fully phased out March 2023. Major generators: RWE, E.ON/Uniper, EnBW, Vattenfall. Energiewende 2.0 targets 80% RES by 2030. Current challenges: winter gas storage and firm capacity adequacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What commodity markets can Stock Market tool access?
Stock Market provides real-time and historical data for crude oil (WTI, Brent), natural gas (Henry Hub), coal futures, electricity futures, and carbon allowances (EU ETS, RGGI). It also covers energy sector equities and ETFs for broader market analysis.
How does World Economy help with energy demand modeling?
World Economy provides World Bank indicators including electricity consumption per capita, industrial production, GDP, and population for nearly every country. This is the foundation for bottom-up energy demand models that link economic activity to energy consumption.
Can these tools access real-time electricity market prices?
Finance Data and Stock Market cover energy futures and some spot market reference prices. For granular real-time LMP data from specific RTOs (PJM, MISO, ERCOT), those markets publish free data portals that can be supplemented with the research tools.
How useful is Academic Research for energy economics work?
Academic Research searches peer-reviewed databases covering energy economics, power systems engineering, and climate policy journals. It is especially valuable for finding empirical studies on market design, capacity market performance, demand response elasticities, and LCOE methodologies.
