Atlanta, GA, May 20, 2021 (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). Themed, “Saved by Zero?” this EIU explores how energy industry stakeholders interested in achieving net-zero carbon emissions are shifting their focus from “whether” to “how.”
Rather than being “saved by zero,” the industry is now facing the significant complexity that will come in moving toward these goals. How is Massachusetts envisioning potential multi-sector pathways to ambitious 2050 net-zero goals? How will the industry meet the significant need for new transmission to achieve these goals? What role will fleet electrification play in net-zero carbon ambitions?
In this report, ScottMadden offers the latest on:
- Massachusetts’ recently released 2050 decarbonization roadmap
- The role that transmission needs to play in the transition to net zero
- Why electric utilities should start preparing now for fleet electrification
- Lessons about system performance revealed by recent weather events in California and Texas
- Energy and utility sector themes: a review of performance in 2020 and expectations for 2021 and beyond
“The clean energy transition is going to affect everything about electric and gas utilities—from the way power is generated, to the cars we drive, to the way we heat our homes. This edition of the Energy Industry Update highlights the complexities we face as well as the opportunities we have as we transition to a cleaner future,” says Cristin Lyons, partner and energy practice leader at ScottMadden.
