You’re being called to transform how you do business- and it is hard.

• Electric Utilities are increasingly called to orchestrate and integrate thousands of distributed resources on systems never designed to handle variable, networked, multi-directional energy flows. 

• Gas Utilities are facing new demands to embrace renewable fuels while keeping services reliable and affordable.

• All types of utilities are grappling with rising costs, aging infrastructure and costly legacy assets, natural disasters, new technology integration, ratepayer concerns, and stakeholder demands for environmental and climate justice within complex, bureaucratic, and often siloed organizations.

You can shape the energy future, or be shaped by it.

Change is coming. The new and complex energy landscape requires different skill sets and business models than what was relied on for the last 100+ years.

Strategen helps utility clients face these challenges head-on and in doing so, sets them up as a leader in the energy transition. Our team brings extensive experience in market creation, policy formation, technical analysis, and stakeholder engagement to help our clients innovate, align, and implement clean energy solutions that make the most of current assets and accelerate the path to decarbonization.

When you succeed, we succeed.

Instead of fighting uphill battles, set outcomes that create new revenue paths and marry business interests to the interests of regulators and customers alike.

Utilities partner with us to: 

• Build alignment and consensus among executives, engineers, and operators on decarbonization strategies.

• Provide objective, informed, and respectful facilitation that deeply understands and anticipates the needs of diverse stakeholders.

• Find the most cost-effective ways to integrate renewables, energy storage, and EVs on the the grid.

• Create a regulatory sandbox where you can innovate within your regulatory framework.

• Evaluate Performance-Based Regulation (PBR), performance-based approaches, and metrics to uncover new revenue streams.

• Develop innovative rate tariffs for clean energy resources such as electrolytic hydrogen and electric vehicles.

Strategen brings an innovative approach to energy system transformation.

Strategen Consulting offers the following expert services to utility clients:

The largest and most complex problems to solve in the electric power sector require a robust analysis of the entire grid. The deployment of smart grid assets such as energy storage, wind generation, solar generation, hybrid storage + natural gas systems, and non-wires solutions is so impactful that as deployments increase they will fundamentally alter grid operations. This creates a challenging environment in which to predict which projects will be profitable and which will fail. Strategen uses its unique, proprietary modeling capabilities to create custom client roadmaps from the current, carbon-intensive grid to the smart, dynamic, low carbon grid of the future.
