Economic and fiscal strategy for utility-scale energy projects

The question

Major energy investments create benefits across multiple geographies, industries, tax systems, and phases of development. Developers and public officials need an analysis that is technically defensible, transparent about local capture, and useful in real-world decisions.

MPG's approach

• Build project-specific construction and operating expenditure profiles, workforce schedules, and procurement assumptions.
• Model direct, supply-chain, and household-spending effects using regional economic data, with careful treatment of labor availability and leakage.
• Estimate property, sales and use, generation, and other fiscal effects under the rules that apply to the project and host jurisdictions.
• Translate technical results into concise materials for executives, investors, local governments, and community stakeholders.

Why it matters

MPG's work helps clients understand where economic value will accrue, identify credible local-benefit commitments, test project assumptions, and communicate the economic case for large-scale renewable generation and storage.
