Energy Strategies

What Energy Strategies does

Energy Strategies, LLC is a privately-held, Salt Lake City-headquartered energy consulting firm founded in 1986, with a secondary Southwest office in Phoenix. The firm operates four practice areas: Markets & Transmission Analysis (nodal production cost modeling, power flow, transmission planning, project economics); Energy Policy & Management (energy procurement strategy, sustainability planning, trade organization management); Regulatory Services (expert testimony in utility rate cases and FERC proceedings); and Renewable Strategy and Sourcing (end-to-end renewable procurement and PPA negotiation for corporate and institutional buyers). The firm employs approximately 40 multidisciplinary consultants — engineers, economists, data analysts, and regulatory professionals — who serve utilities (Calpine, PNM, Delta-Montrose), power producers and transmission developers (EDF Renewables, LS Power, Longroad, ITC), industrial energy consumers (Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Freeport-McMoRan, Kroger, Nucor, Intermountain Healthcare), higher education institutions (Stanford, Cornell, Vanderbilt, University of Texas), government (US EPA, State of Utah, City of Phoenix), and advocacy organizations (Sierra Club, Western Power Trading Forum, American Clean Power).

The firm monetizes through project-based consulting engagements, with fees determined by scope and complexity, and is not a software platform. Its analytical capabilities rest on a proprietary toolset including GridView and PowerWorld for power-system modeling, eCIM for carbon-impact analysis, EDRS for price-risk management, an Energy Storage Assessment Tool for ancillary-service revenue studies, and custom data pipelines for Western and Eastern interconnections. The firm's Western-market position is reinforced by institutional roles as the WestConnect Order 1000 regional planning consultant, the analytic contractor for CAISO's 2024 EDAM Benefits Study, a DOE-funded partner with WIEB/CREPC on multi-state transmission cost allocation, and the contractor for the Utah OED State-Led Market Options Study — collectively establishing Energy Strategies as a high-frequency participant in Western market reform debates. The team has testified in 250+ proceedings across 29 state regulatory commissions and holds an Industrial Gas Resource Corporation affiliate for natural gas procurement and balancing services.
