Skill Sets
Quantitative & Statistical Analysis
Wired Group analysts apply econometric modeling, statistical sampling, and data visualization to evaluate utility program performance, rate impacts, and grid investment outcomes. Our quantitative work provides regulators with defensible, evidence-based findings that hold up to cross-examination in contested proceedings.
Regulatory Proceedings & Expert Testimony
Our team has prepared and sponsored expert testimony in rate cases, grid modernization proceedings, integrated resource plan reviews, and demand-side management program evaluations before state public utility commissions across the United States. We understand the procedural requirements and evidentiary standards that govern utility regulation.
Stakeholder Engagement & Process Design
Effective grid planning requires meaningful stakeholder participation. Wired Group designs and facilitates stakeholder engagement processes that surface diverse perspectives, reduce information asymmetry between utilities and intervenors, and build durable consensus around grid investment priorities and performance expectations.
Policy Research & Literature Review
Wired Group maintains an extensive library of primary research on smart grid deployments, demand response programs, and distributed energy resource integration. Our policy research synthesizes academic literature, regulatory decisions, and utility filings to provide clients with the context needed to evaluate novel utility proposals and identify best practices from other jurisdictions.
