Exploring the Role of Advanced Nuclear in Future Energy Markets

March 16, 2018

The economic and policy environment for nuclear power globally and in the United States is complex, with conflicting drivers that impede and support the development and deployment of nuclear technologies for energy systems. Electric power generation from nuclear power plants constitutes 11% of global electricity generation (IEA, 2017), and 19% of U.S. generation (EIA, 2017a). By far, the dominant nuclear generation technology is the light water reactor (LWR), typically deployed in units on the order of 1,000 megawatts (MW) of capacity.

Electricity Resource Compensation Under a NetZero Future

whitePaper | September 15, 2022

Over the past decade, state governments, local municipalities, and large corporations have increased momentum for the adoption of net zero carbon policies, and with the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022 that will provide hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in clean energy, that net zero carbon future now looks more achievable. E3 has been at the forefront of analyzing possible decarbonization pathways across North America. While there are multiple potential pathways on the road to net zero, it will ultimately result in a fundamental shift over time from an era of dominated by fossil fuel generation resources to one dominated by renewables, energy storage, and demand-side resources. This will result in a major transformation in how electricity markets function.

Good for your business, good for the planet Sustainability strategies to build a more resilient world

whitePaper | April 23, 2022

Our growing climate crisis demands that we conserve energy and water, reduce waste, and find ways to protect our ecosystems. But the most urgent challenge facing us globally may be to reduce our carbon emissions. And while governments and businesses across the globe are racing to set ambitious targets on a path to a net zero carbon future, we can’t reach net zero if we don’t actually know where we are. We need a common foundation to ensure that Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are measured in an accurate, consistent, and reliable way. Without global standards, it will be difficult for organizations to develop effective roadmaps to reduce their emissions without wasting time and money—and it will be difficult to know if our collective actions are making a difference
