Information Needs of Power Industry Executives & Analysts

Power markets are complex, with many drivers and data sources. For instance, natural gas prices can strongly influence electricity prices, highlighting the importance of integrated insights. This survey aims to identify the key information and data that power industry professionals need most. Your responses will help develop a new newsletter or information service tailored for leaders and analysts in the power sector.

Responses are confidential and will be used in aggregate. Please answer the questions below. (At the end, you’ll have an opportunity to provide your job title and organization for context.)
