Campus - Energy & Utility Market Analytics consultant

Driven by policy, regulatory, and economic forces, electric and natural gas systems are facing competing pressures. Many states, corporations, and other stakeholders are pushing for a rapid shift toward renewables, nuclear, and energy storage. At the same time, accelerating demand growth, aging infrastructure, supply chain constraints, and permitting challenges are slowing deployment and raising concerns about reliability and affordability.

These dynamics create a complex and evolving environment for energy investment and planning. At PA, our Global Energy and Utilities team is at the forefront of analyzing these changes. We help clients understand the risks and opportunities in energy infrastructure and guide them through strategic decisions that shape the future of the sector.
