Our services
ELECTRICITY PURCHASING AND TRADING
With a rapidly changing energy system and a constant flow of new policies and regulations, the conditions within electricity trading are also changing rapidly. We offer strategic advice based on both knowledge of today's markets and a good understanding of the changes that are currently taking place. Our services include, among other things, advice on signing PPAs and analysis of the PPA market, support in the procurement of a new agreement with an electricity trader or renegotiation of an existing agreement, ongoing monitoring of the external environment and support in electricity trading issues. We also have extensive experience in acting as experts in legal proceedings.
ANCILLARY SERVICES AND DEMAND SIDE FLEXIBILITY
A prerequisite for an efficient future electricity system is access to new flexible resources, when the traditional electricity system as we know it is to be reshaped. In addition to the system technical changes, significant development is taking place through the legal framework. Great opportunities are created for those actors who act correctly and provide resources to the right area of use as a result of the major changes to the balancing model that are taking place in the Nordic region. The area is facing dramatic changes in the coming years, which can be both an opportunity and a challenge for market actors. We offer advice and investment analyses to system operators, regulatory authorities, producers and investors.
PRICING OF ELECTRICITY NETWORKS & DISTRICT HEATING
The advice on tariffs and pricing is aimed at both electricity network and district heating companies as well as district heating and electricity customers. We take a holistic perspective based on regulation, practice, economic theory and measurement data to create a robust basis for decision-making when reviewing price models and cost levels. In addition to getting it right financially and regulatory, we can also support the process related to communication and rollout plans.
INVESTMENT ADVICORY
The energy sector is facing extensive investment needs. We offer advice to help our clients find the right opportunities and manage market risks. We can carry out commercial and regulatory due diligence for both power and heat production, make assessments of future revenue potential and produce cash flow analyses based on this. We are well versed in PPAs and can carry out market analyses of the PPA market, advise on the choice of production type and project, and type of PPA based on the electricity user/investor's requirements and wishes. We can also support law firms in the preparation and design of PPAs.
MARKETING DESIGN
The ongoing transformation of the energy system will place high demands on market design, as it should provide accuare incentives to enable new investments in a cost-effective manner while at the same time allow existing resources to be maintained and developed. We can offer advice on the evaluation and development of market design, clarify for various market participants how suggested changes in market design may come to affect their business environment and operations, provide analysis to support debate, as well as advice on how they should strategically position their operations based on changing market design
REGULATION & POLICY
We monitor the energy markets continuously, which of course includes proposed changes in regulations as well as policy processes. We know that regulations and policies, together with other factors in the world, can change at a rapid pace. This places high demands on actors to follow and understand both the driving forces behind and the consequences of proposed and implemented changes. We can investigate issues related to market function and instruments, the impact of these changes on the markets as well as the impact on the operations of individual actors. In addition to direct advice, we can support stakeholders in work related to consultation responses.
