What is Database Utilities Fortnightly?

This extraordinarily extensive, granular, and timely database provides an unprecedented capability to better understand utility customer behavior and economics and the transforming performance of the grid. To authoritatively address critical questions in utility regulation and policy, in real time virtually.
Such as:
  • How affordable is utility service?
  • How do different kinds of utility customers pay for and use utility service differently?
  • At what pace is the grid decarbonizing?
  • How are grid operations integrating renewables?
  • Are load duration curves flattening?
  • Where are utility sales heading generally, and by utility?
It’s built to be a credible litigation-quality tool, suitable for regulatory proceedings.And it’s based on four reliable federal government surveys, that are conducted by three agencies of the government.

What’s included and how is it structured?
