Examples of our work

Private equity player

A private equity player required detailed market analysis for their portfolio review in the energy domain to assess potential risk and returns on selected markets. Based on the conversation with the client, 4 key energy products were identified: 2 having the largest exposure (diesel and gasoline) and 2 presenting the biggest opportunity (solar and wind). A tailored report on 2030 demand for these energy products in selected scenarios based on proprietary models provided key input for the portfolio review and advised the investment strategy.

Energy company

An energy company needed intelligence support for an M&A due diligence on a regional power market. The market was new to the client, so they wanted to understand the policy landscape, potential short-term developments related to decarbonization and have a forecast on the main demand drivers. Energy Solutions’ team of local experts prepared a tailored report containing detailed policy landscape analysis, possible decarbonization initiatives and a 10-year demand and supply forecast providing necessary input for this investment decision.

Pension fund

A European pension fund aimed to review its long-term investment strategy and required advice on investment opportunities and the long-term forecast for the energy domain globally. Energy Solutions experts prepared a tailored report on 2050 value pools of selected energy technologies across scenarios to compare the attractiveness of each technology under different sets of assumptions. This allowed the client to narrow down the potential investment opportunities.
