Tools built for the docket, not the dashboard. Every feature is designed to withstand adversarial cross-examination.
01 — Data Infrastructure
Natural gas spot prices and basis differentials across key U.S. pipeline hubs. Pipeline flow data from FERC Form 552, storage inventory from EIA-912, and LDC sales data normalized for seasonal comparison. Every series includes provenance metadata.
02 — Regulatory Analysis
Procurement audits benchmarked against observable market prices. Hedging strategy review using position-level data. Cost allocation analysis across customer classes with embedded rate impact modeling — formatted for direct commission submission.
03 — Ratepayer Risk
Econometric analysis of natural gas fuel cost risk, price volatility, and global LNG market exposure. Ratepayer cost implications translated from $/MMBtu into bill impacts across load classes — the language commissioners and advocates understand.
04 — Testimony Support
Direct workpaper generation in formats accepted by major state utility commissions. Exhibit numbering, source citations, and methodological appendices included. Peer-reviewed by a PhD economist with active testimony records in Missouri, Kansas, and North Carolina.
All analysis produced by a PhD economist specializing in resource and environmental economics, with expertise in natural gas, coal, electricity, oil and gas, and renewable energy markets.
Full documentation of every model, assumption, and data source. Designed to survive Daubert challenges and adversarial cross-examination by utility counsel.
EnergyVeritas is retained exclusively by public interest clients — consumer advocates, environmental organizations, and clean energy buyers. Never by utilities or their affiliates.
