The clean energy transition increases in urgency and complexity with every passing year. A complex web of regulations, political considerations, incentives, and institutions makes the path towards net-zero far from straightforward. For renewable energy, storage projects and carbon capture, jurisdictions are overlapping and a wide array of stakeholders must be involved--from utilities, to public commissions, to residents and environmental groups.

Under competing priorities and within complex environments, communication is key. Horizon simplifies the process by combining market research and publishing with code. Horizon plugins can be used to predict climate impact, extreme weather events, energy market prices or economic dispatch of generation sources or the impact of new technologies on various climate scenarios.

Without effective coordination of stakeholders like investors, academics, federal and state public organizations, and activist groups, the transition to a cleaner energy future risks suffering not only from delays, but from extreme events like electrical blackouts, poor adaptation, mitigation of natural disasters, and more.

Rapid expected increase in load from data centers during the advent of AI suggests distinct approaches and considerations that must be brought to broader audiences, ensuring that the energy transition is equitable and beneficial to communities.
