ScottMadden Releases Fall 2020 Energy Industry Update: Running Up That Hill

How a 1980’s Hit Describes the Energy Industry Today


Atlanta, GA, Oct. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America’s leading management consulting firms specializing in energy, has released its latest edition of The Energy Industry Update (EIU).

In this report, ScottMadden offers the latest on: 

  • 100% clean energy goals and planning
  • Current and potential approaches to making, transporting, and using hydrogen-based energy
  • Recent noteworthy developments in the U.S. wholesale electric markets
  • Utility regulatory responses to COVID-19 and strategies for cost recovery
  • Development of offshore wind energy

“Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, our industry has proven that it can respond to disruptions with resilience. This edition of the Energy Industry Update highlights important initiatives where we are continuing to make progress, even in these extraordinary times,” says Cristin Lyons, partner and energy practice leader at ScottMadden.
