Powering Sound Decisions Across the Full Spectrum of Energy Economics and Policy
In an era of energy transition, pipeline safety scrutiny, and growing federal investment in clean energy infrastructure, understanding the economic forces shaping energy markets—and the regulatory frameworks governing them—has never been more consequential. Jack Faucett Analytics brings more than five decades of sustained energy-sector engagement to clients who need rigorous, transparent analysis to navigate this complex landscape.
Our Approach
We view energy not as a single market, but as an interconnected system where supply dynamics, infrastructure capacity, regulatory conditions, and broader macroeconomic forces interact across long planning horizons. Our methodology integrates demand forecasting, infrastructure cost modeling, and regulatory economics to produce findings that illuminate both the near-term implications of policy choices and their long-run consequences for energy markets, regional economies, and federal program outcomes.
Core Capabilities
Energy Demand Forecasting & Supply-Demand Modeling: JFA develops and applies the quantitative models that agencies and investors use to project how energy demand will evolve under different economic, policy, and technology scenarios—providing the analytical foundation for long-range infrastructure planning, regulatory development, and program investment decisions.
Pipeline Safety Economics & Regulatory Impact Analysis: Drawing on deep experience with PHMSA and related federal agencies, JFA evaluates the economic consequences of pipeline safety regulations and infrastructure investment decisions—quantifying costs, benefits, and risk reduction across the full range of regulatory alternatives that rulemaking requires.
Energy Incentive Program Evaluation: JFA assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of federal energy incentive programs, measuring whether public investments are achieving their intended outcomes, at what cost, and how program design affects the distribution of benefits across sectors and geographies.
Infrastructure Cost Assessment & Capital Investment Analysis: We evaluate the economics of energy infrastructure investments—from pipeline capacity expansions to renewable energy facilities—providing the rigorous cost-benefit analysis and financial modeling that federal program offices and investment decision-makers require.
Why Jack Faucett Analytics?
Five Decades of Continuous Energy-Sector Engagement: JFA has worked with the Department of Energy, PHMSA, and other federal and state agencies on energy economics since the firm’s founding—building the institutional knowledge, data resources, and agency relationships that complex energy studies demand.
Regulatory Expertise That Spans Energy and Transportation: Energy infrastructure—particularly pipelines—sits at the intersection of energy and transportation regulation. JFA’s unique depth in both domains gives our clients a rare analytical partner capable of addressing the full regulatory and economic complexity of energy infrastructure decisions.
Analysis Calibrated to Federal Evidentiary Standards: Energy sector decisions routinely face Congressional oversight, Inspector General review, and judicial scrutiny. JFA produces the rigorously documented, transparently structured analysis that holds up under examination—giving agencies and program offices the evidentiary foundation they need to defend their decisions with confidence.
“Energy economics is defined by long planning horizons, large capital commitments, and the constant interplay of markets and regulation. Navigating that landscape well requires analysis that is both technically rigorous and practically grounded in how decisions actually get made.”
