John Taber, PhD
Energy Economist and
Policy Advisor
WASHINGTON, DC
John helps leadership teams navigate a rapidly changing energy landscape, anticipating how power demand, grid constraints, market dynamics, technology shifts, and regulation will interact. He brings together expertise across energy markets, regulatory environments and technology to help companies understand where these converge, and what those intersections mean for infrastructure, investment and growth.
At the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), John leads modeling improvements for the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS), with a focus on nuclear power, electricity markets and pricing, and grid infrastructure. Previously at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), he analyzed tariff filings and supported FERC decisions involving wholesale electricity prices, ancillary services, and capacity markets. At an independent energy research institute, he directed energy and climate policy modeling projects for government and utility clients.
At Lauruse, John brings experience across government, industry research, and energy-market regulation to help organizations anticipate converging shifts, evaluate competing constraints, and act on what those intersections mean for strategy.
Energy challenges rarely arrive in isolation. Surging demand, grid constraints, market dynamics, technology shifts and regulatory requirements increasingly converge – creating opportunities and constraints that cannot be understood in isolation.
Bringing market, regulatory and technology expertise together to help decision makers see those intersections early, understand their implications, and position accordingly.
