Regulation lags Innovation. For the energy industry, we hope to make that lag short.
Regulators and innovators keep talking past each other
...and it’s no one’s fault. Regulatory staffs are stretched thin compared to utility and VC-backed teams. Regulators focus on one major issue per term, while innovators push for rapid, sweeping change. The result? Mutual frustration and stalled progress.
We believe there's a better way.
Our mission is to bring regulators and innovators into the same conversation, building a common language and shared understanding that moves everyone forward.
Pacing Energy is dedicated to advancing the quality and effectiveness of regulatory policy through education, dialogue, and collaborative research.
Well-informed regulators and innovative entrepreneurs working together can create frameworks that protect the public interest while enabling technological progress.
In an era of rapid technological change, regulatory institutions face unprecedented challenges. The traditional approaches to oversight developed in the 20th century must evolve to address the complexities of modern energy systems, digital platforms, and emerging technologies. This evolution requires continuous learning, adaptation, and exchange of ideas between regulators, industry leaders, and academic researchers.
Through our programs, we create opportunities for meaningful engagement across these communities.
We curate essential reading materials, convene working groups to tackle specific policy challenges, and maintain forums for ongoing discussion and knowledge sharing.
Our mission is to support the professional development of regulatory practitioners by providing access to rigorous research, historical context, and practical insights. We seek to foster a culture of intellectual curiosity and evidence-based policymaking within regulatory institutions.
We accomplish this through:
