Synapse Energy Economics Inc
About
Synapse Energy Economics is a Cambridge research and consulting firm working at the intersection of energy, economics and the environment. It provides technical, quantitative and policy analysis of the electric power and natural gas sectors, mainly for public interest groups and government agencies. Clients hire the firm to scope analyses, protect ratepayer interests in regulated utility proceedings, and produce reports that help the public engage with the energy transition, with rigor meant to match or exceed that of well-funded industry stakeholders.
The firm describes itself as small and nimble, mission-driven and a little bit nerdy. Its staff of more than 40 includes experts in resource planning, electricity dispatch and economic modeling, emissions modeling, energy efficiency, renewable energy, transmission and distribution, rate design, energy justice, cost-benefit analysis and electricity and gas markets. Synapse stresses independence, saying only what the evidence supports, whether on the witness stand or in a blog, and telling clients up front when an analysis may not deliver what they expect.
