Energy Ventures Analysis

What Energy Ventures Analysis does

Energy Ventures Analysis, Inc. (EVA) is a private, Arlington/Vienna, Virginia-based energy consulting firm and data publisher founded in 1981, employing approximately ten analysts and consultants. The company serves a defined B2B buyer base including electric utilities, power market traders, fuel producers, environmental control manufacturers, federal and state regulators, hedge funds, fuel transporters, and trade associations. EVA monetizes through two complementary streams: (1) recurring subscription publications — most prominently the FUELCAST annual integrated outlook plus monthly and quarterly reports on power, natural gas, LNG, coal, renewables, and environmental markets, accompanied by Excel data libraries — and (2) project-based consulting engagements covering regulatory impact analysis, expert witness testimony, asset valuation, M&A advisory, and energy modeling. Named engagements include work for the National Mining Association, Consumers Energy, the Illinois Office of Coal Development, Clean Air Markets LLC, NERC (Clean Power Plan reliability assessment), API (U.S. LNG exports study), NARUC (coal plant operations under partnership with DOE), and the Central Arizona Water Conservation District.

The firm's technical core is built around proprietary modeling assets: the AURORAxmp power dispatch model — used to produce hourly (8,760 hour) generation and electricity prices across the North American power market — paired with the SCAN scenario-analysis framework for gas/coal price sensitivity, integrated with environmental compliance and unit-specific retrofit cost modeling. Underlying these models are extensive proprietary databases spanning natural gas, coal, crude oil, LNG, and renewable energy markets, including a comprehensive global LNG export/import database with supply/demand projections through 2040 and proprietary surveys of U.S. coal-fired generator stockpiles. Distribution is conducted through direct enterprise sales supported by industry-association co-publishing partnerships (most visibly with Natural Gas Supply Association, Natural Gas Council, Texas Public Policy Foundation, and America's Power) and a content-marketing motion anchored on the company website, press releases, energy blog posts, webinars, and conference speaking.

EVA has been recognized by Forbes in its Best Management Consulting Firms rankings for Energy & Environment in 2017, 2019, and 2020, and has operated continuously for over 40 years without disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition history. The company reports tracking renewable energy development for over two decades and over 30 years of natural gas/LNG/crude oil consulting practice, positioning it as a long-duration incumbent in a niche defined by deep domain expertise rather than scale.
