The Atlas Institute focuses on energy systems, power generation, grid reliability, and the infrastructure required to support industrial growth and advanced technologies. Its work centers on energy security, capacity expansion, permitting and buildout of critical infrastructure, and the long-term resilience of the U.S. power system.
Analyzing the reliability and strategic resilience of the U.S. energy supply, including fuel diversity, import dependencies, and reserve capacity.
Addressing the aging electrical grid, transmission bottlenecks, and the infrastructure upgrades required to support growing industrial and compute demand.
Evaluating regulatory, permitting, and financing barriers that delay or prevent the buildout of new power generation and transmission capacity.
Forecasting the energy requirements of advanced manufacturing, AI compute infrastructure, and industrial reshoring to ensure supply meets demand.
Evaluating next-generation nuclear technologies including small modular reactors, fusion development, and advanced baseload generation required for industrial and compute loads.
Analyzing LNG exports, critical mineral dependencies for energy technology, OPEC dynamics, and the use of energy as strategic leverage in international relations.
