The Brattle Group

And I think some of the numbers, so there's a figure that's been cited of $26.2 trillion, I think.

The Brattle Group have come up with that as an estimate of the kind of amount involved.

But that equates to £281,000 per person in the UK, every man, woman and child.

And there is this question of corporate responsibility, as you've said, Israel's guilt as a nation.

Wonderful conversation.

Brattle Group Principal, Dr. Kathleen Spees, and Abe Silverman, Manager of the Powering Procurement in PJM Initiative at Johns Hopkins University.

Wonderful paper that they've written.

They've explained it in some detail.

I'm Herman K. Trabish, covered the power sector since 2006, and I currently report for UtilityDoc.

My guest today is Andrew Levin, a senior consultant on wholesale energy markets with multinational business consultant The Brattle Group.

And Andrew is co-author of Bradl's new paper, Solutions for Timely Interconnection of Large Loads, Enabling Non-Firm Transmission Service.

He's going to describe non-firm transmission service and how it can be reliable if operators use flexible load curtailment or pair large loads with nearby generation and use new interconnection and dispatch approaches and newly available software tools.

Brattle report, growing VPPs can offset residential bill increases.

Scaling up residential virtual power plants rapidly over the next five years could cut expected bill increases in half while providing hundreds of megawatts of capacity, the Brattle group found in a report.

Permitting bill only part of the solution on transmission, EBAW panelists say.

Congress' latest proposal to streamline permitting of energy infrastructure could remove some hurdles, but fails to address jurisdictional obstacles hindering regional transmission development, panelists at the Energy Bar Association's Energy Forum said.

Start with the biggest number.

In 2023, an economics firm called the Brattle Group did the math for a reparation symposium at the University of the West Indies.

Transatlantic slavery across the Americas and the Caribbean.

Their answer? Between a hundred and a hundred and thirty-one trillion US dollars, up to a hundred and eight trillion for what was done during slavery, twenty-three trillion for the harm that kept going after emancipation.

While it's controversial, these investments from tech companies can help soften the blow.

Ryan Hledik is a principal with the Brattle Group, and he works with federal scientists on energy research.

I do see data center load growth as a very important opportunity to, um, develop a more ro- robust national power grid and to use that load growth in a way that, that does benefit customers in terms of energy affordability.

Finally, Daniel, what safety net is in place for people who struggle to pay their electric bills?
