Testimony Support

You need a partner who stands behind their results. At 1898 & Co., we routinely defend our results as witnesses in regulatory filings to demonstrate the robustness of our analysis and validity of our results. Our consultants are experienced in providing public testimony and understand how to present our reports and findings to accurately and fully support the municipality, commission or regulatory agency requirements.

We can clearly explain complex analysis while going into any detail needed to support your filing. Working in the utility industry, we have experience detailing our process and methodology and demonstrating the ability to balance competing interests between reliability, sustainability and cost of service.
