Energy Transition


Expert consulting on energy economics and climate policy

We help private and public clients navigate the energy transition by offering rigorous economic modelling, data-driven scenario analyses, and deep regulatory insight. This enables our clients to make well-informed, robust decisions in an environment characterised by rapidly changing business needs and regulatory frameworks.

Creating actionable insights from hard facts

We combine sector expertise with state-of-the art economic tools to evaluate how regulations, policies, and investments shape real-world outcomes across global value chains. This helps our clients understand the implications of geopolitical shifts or policy interventions on businesses and society, and to assess the economic viability of decarbonisation investments.

Our analyses offer hard facts and a clear narrative, giving perspectives on how resilience and security of supply fit into business models or regulatory challenges – critical factors in today’s energy landscape.

From policy-maker insights to business leader needs

We help clients across the private and public sectors gather insights into e.g. business cases or the effects of regulations to better:

  • Understand their current competitive landscape
  • Understand the implications of different potential future outcomes by defining and evaluating client-specific scenarios and their impact on key cost drivers and revenue streams
  • Build resilience to withstand supply shocks and disruptions to global value chains
