Energy

Energy production and use is one of the dominant issues of our generation – wherever you live in the world.

  • By 2030, energy demand will have grown by 39%. Most of that growth will be in non-OECD countries, where energy consumption will rise 68%.
  • The International Energy Agency estimates that the investment needed to meet growing global energy needs will be $26 trillion by 2030.

Yet, in the face of this staggering demand, the energy sector is confronting many challenges – economic, social and political – to ensure companies have a “licence to operate.” These include:

  • Challenging targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20% by 2020 and to have 20% of generating capacity from renewable sources is making huge changes in European energy markets.
  • In the UK nearly 25% of generating capacity needs to be replaced in the next ten years.

Managing these challenges requires a strategic partner and counsellor who understands the industry and the volatile public landscape - on an international scale.

Our team understands how energy companies and policy makers are regularly pulled in opposing directions as they try to balance security of supply, reduction of carbon emissions and affordability / competitiveness of energy prices.

We have a first-rate track record of working with our energy clients to not only generate successful media coverage, but also to help them stand out from the competition, develop their reputations, and win contracts.

Organisations are facing increasingly intense scrutiny – both at home and abroad. We help them to make that scrutiny a competitive advantage that improves the sustainability of their businesses.

Our passion and understanding of the energy sector, combined with academic rigour and creativity allows us always to put our clients’ interests at the heart of what we do, build strong partnerships and consistently deliver successful results.
