Energy Transition

As global energy demand rises—fuelled by economic growth, industrial expansion, digitalisation, data centres, electrification, and increased heating and cooling needs—businesses must develop strategies that ensure energy security while managing costs effectively. Transforming your business's energy use can lead to significant cost savings, new revenue opportunities, and reduced emissions, all while mitigating risks.

Our approach blends industry knowledge with AI and data analytics to reshape complex systems. We leverage our strategy, operations, funding, tax, and accounting experience to address your unique needs. By engaging closely with other domains, our professionals in the ‘How we fuel and power’ domain collaborate to develop effective solutions tailored to each industry’s unique geography, operations, and energy systems. This approach helps you move with clarity and lead with confidence as you navigate the evolving energy landscape.

Unlock demand-side opportunities—whatever industry you are in

As energy systems shift to cleaner, smarter models, business as usual’ is no longer an option. Organisations can choose to stay reactive and risk falling behind, or lead with a proactive energy strategy that enables them to maintain energy security and control costs amid rising demand and increasing energy price volatility. Take the right action now and craft a strategy that generates measurable benefits, strengthens resilience, and propels sustainable growth.

Reduce and improve energy demand

Managing energy is not just an environmental goal—it is a strategic business imperative. Rising demand from AI and digital transformation is putting pressure on our energy systems, challenging grid stability, with potential flow-on effects to consumers. Exploring options from energy efficiency through to onsite generation and electrification as part of your broader strategy helps protect value, reduce costs, and strengthen resilience. We combine industry expertise with smart tech, data analytics, and automation to boost performance, meet regulations, and unlock growth.

Achieve energy independence

Reducing dependence on the energy grid helps improve operational resilience and gives your business greater protection against price swings and supply interruptions. Energy independence also delivers measurable savings: purchasing less grid power means lower transmission and distribution costs. It’s a strategic move that protects value and enhances operational stability.

Generate value from energy

Energy is not just a cost—it can be a source of value. By actively engaging with energy markets, organisations can unlock financial benefits beyond savings. Opportunities include developing, buying, or selling energy, trading environmental certificates, or entering agreements to moderate consumption for grid stability. These strategies turn energy management into a revenue-generating advantage.

Electrify operations

Organisations that produce their own electricity or maintain flexible market connections are well-positioned to electrify their assets and operations. Depending on the nature of their operations, it makes sense to identify targeted opportunities to integrate electrification, particularly when coordinated through smart contracts and the intelligent control of on-site assets such as storage, EV fleets, and flexible loads. Over time, shifting to electricity reduces emissions, improves costs, and builds a future-ready energy infrastructure.
