Energy Policy
Policy-makers need timely, accurate, and reliable information to manage energy priorities on behalf of their constituents, communities, and regional industries. The CAES Energy Policy Institute (EPI) informs on all aspects of energy systems change with an integrated approach, which incorporates strategic planning and regulation, technology and systems, economics, and science.
EPI aims to advance energy decision-making and priorities with evidence-based analyses on subjects including resilient energy systems and critical infrastructure; design of power markets; economics and regulatory aspects of advanced energy systems; inter-jurisdictional oversight of cyber risk to energy projects, and the role of public engagement in novel energy pathways.
