United States
Providing states with the necessary tools to achieve their regulatory aims.
The United States is undergoing a profound transition in how it produces and consumes energy, driven by new technologies, more efficient practices, and expanding consumer options. To guide this shift towards clean and affordable power, RAP’s U.S. program operates from four regional hubs, the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, and West. This approach strengthens engagement, builds local capacity, and supports regulatory leadership, aligning planning across state lines. Addressing nationwide goals is RAP’s Strategy hub, which will examine best approaches for scaling cutting-edge clean technologies, modernize the cost analysis debate, and promote utility commission independence.
These hubs are guided by the Council of Commissioners, a select cadre of bipartisan, former commissioners from around the United States. These five teams are supported by staff with deep expertise in resource planning, performance-based regulation, market reform, transmission planning, grid modernization, electrification, and gas transition strategies. RAP helps states and federal stakeholders make strategic decisions to advance energy goals.
