Mr. Hanser’s practice includes issues ranging from utility industry structure and market power and associated regulatory questions, to specific operational and strategic questions, such as transmission pricing, generation planning, tariff strategies, fuels procurement, environmental issues, forecasting, marketing and demand-side management, and other management and financial issues. He has supported clients’ efforts in insurance recovery of environmental liabilities arising from former manufactured gas plant sites, assessed liability risk in mass tort suits, and designed statistical database auditing procedures.

He served six years on the American Statistical Association’s Advisory Committee to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Prior to joining The Brattle Group, his past employment experience included a number of academic positions and he served as the Manager of the Demand-Side Management Program at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). He has been published widely in leading industry and economic journals and testified frequently before regulatory agencies. Mr. Hanser has taught at the University of the Pacific, University of California at Davis, and Columbia University, and guest lectured at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and the University of Chicago.
