ESMIA is a dynamic team of experts specialized in analyzing and communicating the complexities of integrated energy systems and dynamic macroeconomics at the highest levels. ESMIA is a leader in Energy-Economy-Environment (3E) system modelling. From preparing detailed energy transition scenarios and technological roadmaps, to evaluating the impacts of energy projects, to drafting climate action plans, to analyzing energy security issues, to assessing circular economy strategies, to highlighting research priorities to reduce climate mitigation costs and foster economic development, to policy analysis, ESMIA leads the way. Our premier mathematical model is called NATEM – the North American TIMES Energy Model. NATEM is the most detailed techno-economic model in North America and employs a database of over 5,000 energy technologies characterized by their technical and economic attributes and pollutant coefficients. NATEM provides least-cost optimization of the entire energy economy and can capture the complex competition for resources inherent to decarbonization strategies. For additional insights, NATEM results can be enriched with ESMIA’s dynamic macroeconomic model (NAGEM), hourly electricity planning and load forecasting model (NATEM-Power), and consumer-centric energy rates model (RateVision). With the flexibility and depth of our modelling capabilities, ESMIA is able to provide a wide range of energy and climate policy investigations at the city, regional, provincial/state, and federal levels. Our modelling has been used by decision makers from the public and private sectors worldwide. Our client base spans ministries, government agencies, consulting firms, energy producers, technology developers, and philanthropic foundations, and our partnerships with academic institutions and research labs give us a competitive edge. At ESMIA Consultants, we’re dedicated to making a difference, and doing it with excellence – one model at a time. Join us on our journey.
