• Policy and Regulatory Impact: We help clients understand the impact of energy policies and regulatory changes on market dynamics, providing a data-driven foundation for strategic planning.
• Market Design & Integration: We assist in the design of integrated electricity markets, including wholesale, ancillary services, and capacity mechanisms, ensuring a well-functioning system in an evolving energy landscape.

By leveraging sophisticated electricity market simulation tools, we uncover hidden risks and opportunities, enabling you to optimize your energy procurement strategies, manage volatility, and ensure long-term profitability.

Capacity Markets

Effective capacity market design is critical for ensuring a reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity supply. We provide expert consulting on designing, optimizing, and evolving capacity market structures to meet the future needs of the energy sector.

Our services cover:

• Capacity Planning: We help design and optimize capacity mechanisms that ensure system reliability while balancing investment incentives and market stability. Our modeling tools simulate capacity adequacy, resource requirements, and pricing structures to inform policy and investment decisions.
• Capacity Auctions: We advise utilities on capacity market auctions, including reserve capacity and long-term contracts.
• Resource Adequacy: We evaluate and forecast resource adequacy, identifying the optimal mix of generation and storage resources needed to meet future demand under different conditions. This is particularly critical in the context of increasing renewable energy and storage integration and grid decarbonization goals.
• Renewables Integration: As renewable energy sources like solar and wind become more prevalent, our models assess how energy market design can accommodate variable and intermittent generation, ensuring grid stability while incentivizing clean energy investment.

We provide in-depth studies that assist utilities in designing market structures that support long-term system reliability while also driving the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy systems.

Natural Gas and LNG

The natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) sectors are central to today’s energy markets, especially with the growing integration of renewables and the need for flexible, low-carbon backup generation. Our consulting services cover all aspects of gas and LNG markets, from supply and demand analysis to pricing forecasts and investment planning.

Our expertise includes:

• Natural Gas Price Forecasting: We use advanced economic models to forecast natural gas prices based on global supply-demand trends, geopolitical factors, and energy transition scenarios. This is crucial for power producers, utilities, and industrial consumers who rely on natural gas as a feedstock or generation source.
• LNG Market Dynamics: We provide in-depth analysis of the global LNG market, including pricing, trade flows, and infrastructure development. We help clients optimize their investments in LNG terminals, shipping, and regasification facilities, as well as identify strategic opportunities in the global LNG supply chain.
• Gas and Power Market Interactions: Our integrated models simulate the interplay between natural gas and electricity markets, helping clients understand how changes in one market impact the other. This is particularly important for gas-fired generation, which plays a key role in balancing intermittent renewable energy generation.
• Investment Planning: We guide clients in evaluating the feasibility and profitability of investments in natural gas infrastructure, LNG facilities, and gas-fired power plants. Our studies include long-term market forecasts, capital cost analyses, and operational optimization strategies.

As the global energy transition progresses, natural gas and LNG markets will continue to play a vital role in energy security. Our expert analysis provides clients with the insights they need to make informed, future-proof investment decisions in this critical sector.
