CEIC's Mission

CEIC’s primary mission is to work with industry, labor, government, policymakers, and all other relevant stakeholders to address the strategic problems of the electricity industry. CEIC works directly on identifying, addressing and solving important problems for the industry. Equally importantly, CEIC produces a cadre of well-trained graduate-student researchers, many of whom continue to address the industry’s problems in subsequent professional careers. In addition to doctoral education, CEIC has a broad educational mission that includes the development of university courses, special topic short-courses and curricular advice for training programs.

CEIC's work is recognized by legislators and government executives as some of the best
nonpartisan analysis in the field. CEIC faculty have testified before Congress in, chaired and participated in numerous National Academies panels, briefed and been cited by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and state public utility commissions in their rulings, and chaired and served on a variety of advisory committees including the Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board and Department of Energy's Electricity Advisory Committee.
