Renewables & Storage

We understand the importance of exploring new and innovative markets and products. As the energy system evolves and decentralises, we advise clients on how they can reduce cost and access new revenue streams. The range of routes to market for renewables generation has expanded and we have helped a number of clients develop corporate PPA products and other low carbon energy solutions. We have also been working with a number of clients on the growing opportunity in the UK, US and Asian storage sectors.

We support clients in identifying commercial solutions to problems, using our experience across the full range of the renewables sector. Our advice is pragmatic and informed by good market practice, as well as a deep understanding of the requirements of all project participants.
