Independent research for informed
energy policy

Advancing energy literacy through rigorous data analysis, expert commentary, and original research for policymakers, business leaders, and the public.

Who We Are

Data-driven.
Nonpartisan.
Built for clarity.

The National Center for Energy Analytics was founded to fill a critical gap in public energy discourse: the need for authoritative, data-driven analysis free from ideological commitments. We bring together scholars, former policymakers, and industry experts to produce original research, interactive data tools, and expert commentary spanning the full energy landscape.

A project of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
