Danny Price

Danny Price is the co-founder and Managing Director of Frontier Economics Pty Ltd. He is a leading expert in energy economics, and has 30+ years of experience advising governments, regulators and private firms on energy market design, energy reform and implementation, regulation, power trading and hedging, and asset sales and acquisitions. He has advised many of the world’s largest energy utilities in countries including Australia, the US, Singapore, Kenya, India, New Zealand, China, Finland and Jamaica.

Danny’s strength in advising clients lies in his:

• Detailed knowledge of the design and operation of energy markets, built up over 30 years of consulting to the energy industry in Australia and internationally;
• Unique combination of detailed analytical skills with an understanding of the constraints imposed by the broader commercial, regulatory and policy environment in which clients operate; and
• Ability to provide frank and independent advice to clients.

He has worked closely with the NSW, South Australian, Queensland, Western Australian and Tasmanian Governments designing and implementing their electricity reforms, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), and most State regulators. He has advised most of the major electricity and gas businesses operating in Australia on commercial, regulatory and competition matters, and many multi-national energy companies.

Danny was appointed by the Turnbull government in 2015 to the Climate Change Authority and as co-chair of the government’s Emissions Reduction Fund’s Expert Reference Group which was established to design the Federal Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund.

Prior to founding Frontier Economics in 1999, he was the Managing Director of consultancy London Economics. Prior to being a consultant, Danny was a Principal Economist at the New South Wales Electricity Commission. In this role he was heavily involved in the design of the Australian National Electricity Market rules.
