UH Energy Transition Index

The University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs and UH Energy have launched a quarterly online survey of US energy sector executives to help inform trends and planning for the industry's future.
The survey will be aggregated into a
with input from leaders in both the oil and gas and renewables sectors.
The index will provide baseline information to help guide industry decisions on a range of issues, including energy transition and sustainability, and potentially contribute to the decision-making of energy related policies, which is essential to the long-term development of the energy industry.
The survey questions focus on various themes such as:
-
Expectations about US and global economic conditions
-
Challenges at both the company and industry level
-
Key drivers of growth; and perceived impact of economic shocks on company performance
-
Market and financial access conditions and forecasts
-
Expectations about energy prices
-
Carbon management practices
-
Factors affecting demand uncertainty
-
Impact of domestic, technological, and geopolitical trends
Deliverables of the UH Energy Transition Index are:
- Track industry perceptions of energy prices, trends, and production over time
- Track progress and perceptions of the energy transition
- Track how these perceptions relate to major economic indicators, such as unemployment, output, prices and inflation
- Track trends that affect profitability and growth in the energy sector
