THE BRATTLE GROUP, INC.
BOSTON, MA

The Brattle Group answers complex economic, regulatory, and financial questions for corporations, law firms, and governments around the world. We believe that astute insights are the result of extraordinary effort, respect for details, and a passion for principles. When presented with a challenge, we work tirelessly to provide clear, independent answers. And we stand behind them, because inconvenient truths are better than the false comforts derived from opinions that cannot withstand scrutiny. FIRM HISTORY The Brattle Group originated in 1990 with five principals dedicated to integrity and excellence in economic and financial consulting. In 1995, Brattle combined with Incentives Research, Incorporated to strengthen its expertise in energy matters and opened its first office in Cambridge. Since then, the firm has expanded throughout the United States and Europe to more than 300 people. We opened in Washington, DC in 1996 with a focus on regulation, antitrust, and public policy. In 1997, we entered Europe with an office in London. In 2002, we opened our San Francisco office with Nobel laureate Dan McFadden to be closer to our litigation and utility clients on the west coast and in the Pacific Rim. We expanded into Madrid and Rome starting in 2009, and we are now recognized as a top consultancy on energy, finance, and competition throughout the European Union. In 2013 we opened a New York office, providing a home base in one of the most important financial and legal markets. We opened a Toronto office in 2015, allowing us to respond quickly and effectively to the legal and business challenges facing our Canadian clients. Our Sydney office opened in 2016, allowing us to support our clients in Australia and the greater Asia-Pacific region with face-to-face collaboration and efficient access to Brattle’s global resources. Brattle’s headquarters relocated from Cambridge to Boston in 2017 to accommodate the firm’s continued growth and provide a modern environment that fosters collaboration and innovation. Our consultants have exceptional analytic and research skills. They hold graduate degrees in economics, finance, law, or business, and are passionate about how applied microeconomics and policy inform real-world questions. Our Professional Services departments - Accounting, Business Support Services, Human Resources, Information Technology, Legal, Marketing, and Planning and Business Analysis - play an important role and have a real impact on the business and the success of the firm. Our clients include many of the world's best-performing and most admired companies, law firms, and industry organizations as well as U.S. and international regulatory and government agencies. We are driven to do the best job possible. We pride ourselves on cultivating lasting client relationships built on trust and mutual respect. We operate with the following values: We are passionate about maintaining a strong culture of respect for others, and treat our clients’ resources with the same care as our own. We make sure that our insights are practical and useful for our clients. With nine offices and more than 350 staff around the world, we provide local support and a global perspective. The transformation of the electric power industry, led by advances in distributed energy solutions such as rooftop PV and customers becoming more active managers of their energy consumption, is often tied to an observed slowdown in sales growth. In the brief, "New Sources of Utility Growth: Electrification Opportunities and Challenges," the Brattle authors discuss how this prevailing paradigm of anemic utility sales growth could be reversed through beneficial electrification, where electric utilities would play a central role in making (clean) electricity the fuel of choice for old and new applications including transport and enabling consumers to take advantage of emerging opportunities.
