The cost of energy is on the rise here in the US and around the world.
What’s behind the drastic increase in costs? Why are some markets more expensive than others? And how do rising energy rates create an opportunity for renewables?
Michael Decaluwe is Senior Vice President at Nania Energy, an energy advisement company that helps organizations in deregulated markets meet their cost and sustainability goals. To date, Nania’s team of 20 serves nearly 6,000 customers in 28 states across the country.
On this episode of Clean Power Hour, Michael joins Tim to discuss the landscape of energy markets in the US, walking us through the regulatory and logistical factors driving the drastic increase in prices in the California, New England and New York markets.
Michael reminds us what was happening in energy markets during the economic crisis of 2008, describing how current circumstances compare and why today’s market differs from any we’ve seen before.
