Energy Insights
There is plenty of data in the world, but deriving the right insights from this data can be challenging. Our Insights articles outline the data and assumptions driving our conclusions. We aim for transparency, and constructive feedback is most welcome. “Let the data speak for itself!”
Our Energy Insights articles focus on Western Canadian Power markets, Thermal Energy Storage opportunities and broader energy market topics. LNG-focused articles have moved to our dedicated LNG Blog.
