A think tank producing rigorous, accessible data for advocates, policymakers, & the public.

Clarity and perspective
on state climate policy.

What are we all working on?

Any room for working together?

Why analyze electric (and gas) tariffs?

  • Estimate heat pump operating costs
  • Design new rates that help electrification

What analyses are we doing?

  • Upgrade scenarios x ResStock load curves x Tariffs = Δ Bills
  • Evaluating cost-alignment of tariffs: Bills vs. Costs
  • Rate design: seasonal / TOU / CPP via eyeballing, optimization
  • Upgrade scenarios x ResStock load curves x Tariffs = Δ Bills
