Energy Markets | Capacity Markets | Natural Gas & LNG

As economies undergo the energy transition, energy markets are more dynamic and interconnected than ever. Understanding the intricacies of markets and their effects on business operations is crucial to strategic planning. Our team delivers targeted insights and innovative strategies to ensure market efficiency and to inform our clients’ market behavior, optimize investments and operations, manage risk, and drive long-term profitability.

Portfolio Optimization | Renewables and Storage Integration | Financial Analysis

Whether the goal is to provide carbon-free energy to the market or to monetize capacity payments, electric power market participants utilize resource planning to get insights on the quality of their potential investments. At Econ One, we provide strategic guidance to optimize the selection, deployment, and management of energy resources across diverse market conditions. Our consultants work closely with clients to ensure that energy portfolios are robust, cost-effective, and resilient to both short- and long-term challenges.

Adequacy Assessments | Capacity Accreditation | Reserve Margin Studies

Resource adequacy refers to the ability of an energy system to meet demand at all times, including during peak periods or under extreme conditions.  As energy markets become increasingly complex and interconnected, it’s essential for all market suppliers to have a deep understanding of their energy assets' capacity and performance and to ensure that their energy systems can meet demand reliably and sustainably.

Risk Analysis | Quantitative Risk Analytics | Derivatives and Hedging Strategies

Our consultants draw on their experience from prior roles in electric industry, previous consulting engagements, and academic training to offer robust and insightful risk analytics and build energy hedging strategies. We have a broad experience in market risks (i.e., price and quantity risks), but also risks stemming from specific regulatory issues, market structure changes, etc. Given long energy investment amortization timelines, low market liquidity and/or visibility, and ever-changing regulatory and legislative environment, we customize our approach to identify potential risks and opportunities in each market and investment situation.

Asset and Investment Valuation | Due Diligence | Project Finance

Econ One experts have conducted due diligence tasks to identify potential risks and opportunities of M&As and investments, assisted clients in structuring transactions and negotiating terms, and provided ongoing support with implementing transactions and performance monitoring to ensure successful execution. Our models were also used for detailed valuation of power plants and other electricity markets infrastructure in supporting M&A transactions as well as for corporate planning purposes where our electric price forecasts were directly used to support strategy and budgeting decisions.
