Alberto Franco Solis' research focuses on the economic dimensions of energy systems, using input-output modeling and regional economic analysis to quantify the impacts of energy projects on local economies. He designs and applies models that link engineering and technical energy models with economic impact tools, including IMPLAN and NLR's own WIRED and EMPLOY tools, translating technical parameters into estimates of output, employment, tax revenue, and GDP effects across diverse regional contexts. His work bridges technical energy modeling with economic impact assessment, building the connective frameworks needed to determine how energy deployment scenarios translate into concrete regional economic benefits.
