PG&E Under Fire
We looked at the past ten years of outage data to see just how significant Northern California electric shut-offs are in the context of power cuts caused by extreme weather and general utility operations.
Research
Rhodium Group’s Energy & Climate practice uses a multidisciplinary, data-driven approach to produce unique, independent insights into global energy dynamics, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change.
We help public and private decision-makers understand what kind of climate future we are on track for, and what matters most for reducing greenhouse gas emissions—at the local, state, national, and international levels. By combining policy expertise with a suite of detailed energy-economic models, our research provides data-driven insights into the impacts of energy and climate change policy and real-world developments on greenhouse gas emissions, energy markets, economic output, and clean technology pathways.

California’s Deal with Automakers
In a new agreement between California, four of the world’s largest automakers voluntarily agreed to implement annual fuel economy improvements across their entire fleets. We assess the impact on fuel economy, oil consumption, and emissions.
Report
Taking Stock 2019
Given the current state and federal policy landscape and range of potential energy market dynamics on the horizon, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 13% to 16% below 2005 levels by 2020.

Clear, Present and Underpriced: The Physical Risks of Climate Change
We partnered with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company, in conducting a physical climate risk assessment for their US municipal bond, commercial real estate, and electrical utility holdings.
Note
Preliminary US Emissions Estimates for 2018
After three years of decline, US carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rose sharply last year. Based on preliminary power generation, natural gas, and oil consumption data, we estimate emissions increased by 3.4% in 2018.
