Our approach
Experts in energy, not just engineering (or project management or energy regulations...)
The biggest challenges faced by sustainability and energy projects don’t fit neatly into a single discipline, so neither do we. When you engage our team, you don’t need to choose between expertise in project management, engineering, commercial management, strategy or energy regulation. You get access to our team’s broad expertise spanning the full range of capabilities needed to overcome common challenges your project may face. This helps you streamline interfaces, integrate inputs and fill gaps between scopes across your key workstreams and specialist technical consultants.
Experts in the weird, hard and boring stuff (so you don't have to be)
We spend our time keeping up with niche but critical areas like grid connection, transmission pricing and energy regulations so your team can stay focused on what they do best. We have knowledge in areas where experience matters but takes a long time to develop; time your in-house team could spend better elsewhere. Think of us as an extension of your team, providing on call access to skills you don’t need all day every day. Or a resource to help you build internal capacity in areas known for their steep learning curves.
Bridging the gap between ambition and action
Ambition is necessary, but it isn’t enough. Our complex and interconnected power system means sustainability strategies and energy projects often face unexpected execution challenges. Our team has a track record of delivering challenging projects, not just writing recommendations. Because we know what can go wrong, we can plan to overcome it.
