As energy demand continues to grow, decision-makers are looking for ways to expand infrastructure while maintaining affordability, reliability, and environmental progress. In a recent study for the American Petroleum Institute (API), we analyzed how permitting reform could impact U.S. energy markets, consumer costs, economic growth, and emissions over the next decade. The findings provide a data-driven perspective on how more efficient permitting processes could support energy infrastructure development while delivering benefits for consumers, businesses, and communities.

Over five years at ICF, Carola has built a career that has allowed her to take on new challenges, grow her expertise, and see firsthand the impact of ICF’s work. Her role has taken her from supporting Californian communities through complex public health challenges to helping Texas communities build long-term resilience following Hurricane Harvey. Today, she’s working to protect energy infrastructure and prepare Texans for severe weather emergencies. “Being community-minded has always been at the forefront of what I do. One of my favorite parts of this work has been meeting stakeholders and hearing their stories about how the programs and resources we helped deliver made a real difference in their lives. I’m also grateful for leaders who have challenged me, encouraged me to take risks, and advocated for my growth.”

Utilities are under pressure to integrate distributed energy resources (DERs) without compromising reliability. Traditional planning methods estimate how many DERs can connect—but not what they can actually deliver when it matters. That’s where distribution operational potential comes in. This framework evaluates DERs based on real-world performance: latency, availability, and location-specific impact. The result? A clearer path to deploying DERs as dependable grid resources and cost-effective alternatives to traditional infrastructure. https://okt.to/gHSNP8
