Managing the transformation to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy

The energy sector forms part of the critical infrastructure of every country – and it is currently being challenged by disruption and transformation on a scale greater than in any other industry.

 

Supply shortages and price increases caused by the Ukraine crisis have heightened awareness among consumers and companies in many European countries that a secure supply of affordable energy cannot be taken for granted.

 

Energy suppliers are being forced to secure new alternatives and simultaneously adapt their energy mix from fossils to renewables. Utility companies are having to invest billions in renewable energy generation, and grid operators likewise in upgrading their networks in response to decentralized energy production and massively increasing electricity demand.

 

We are here to offer holistic support to both energy companies and grid operators in this transformation – from the development of new business models to their implementation and funding, and advising on how to secure a supply of reliable, affordable and sustainable energy.
