What You'll Learn
- Model energy unit economics (LCOE, capacity factors, and grid line losses).
- Understand the regulatory rate-making model (Regulatory Asset Base and ROE).
- Evaluate capital reallocation cases from traditional fossil assets to green energy grids.
Lesson Overview
Navigate the massive capital allocations of grid modernization, renewable Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), peak battery arbitrage, and traditional fossil fuel transition.
Imagine your interviewer says: "Your client is a regulated electric utility. Under new state laws, they must retire 3 GW of coal generation capacity by 2028. They need to evaluate whether to build natural gas peaking plants or a combined grid-scale solar + battery storage facility."
Why This Matters for Consulting Interviews
Energy cases test long-term capital allocation, NPV modeling under regulatory oversight, and complex engineering-financial trade-offs (e.g., intermittent renewables vs baseload).
