Supporting strategic energy planning, we have successfully implemented projects in the fields of energy, green transition, and climate change. Our expertise is the analysis of energy systems, energy markets, the potential impact of new technologies and policies, and macroeconomic feedback.
We use advanced energy systems modelling. We build tailored energy systems models and generate numerous scenarios showing the impact on demand, production, and prices from factors such as technology choices, taxes, and EU taxonomy.
We provide services on national, international, and local levels to companies, institutions, and Government Agencies.
