Okay, let’s tackle this. So Walter has a mix of energy and management consulting skills, with a focus on strategy and policy. His experience in renewable energy and smart grid development is also valuable. Location is Summerland Key, Florida, which is not a hub for energy or consulting. Considering his skills, I’d look at national averages for management consultants with energy experience. Maybe around $100–$150 per hour for a junior-level consultant, but Walter’s experience and Wharton education suggest he could command a higher rate. Let’s check averages. Energy consultants with similar experience might average $120–$180. So I’ll estimate around $125
