Energy
Decarbonisation, affordability and security of supply challenges have led governments around Europe to introduce energy subsidies and capacity auctions to stimulate investment.
This has fundamentally transformed the investment dynamics, the way energy market participants are remunerated and the value of energy assets. In particular, there is a growing need to understand the revenues and costs associated with ancillary services such as balancing costs that are set to become material for investment decisions.

Understanding the future of generation assets has become increasingly complex: valuing multiple revenue opportunities, how they will change in future and how they interact. We combine bottom-up unit-level modelling with market and policy insights to quantify the value and understand the risk associated with any generation asset.
We support acquisition, new build or internal valuations across the full range of technologies in GB and Ireland: from CCGT through to small scale renewables.
Our in-depth modelling assesses the stack of revenues available to all technology classes:
- Wholesale
- Balancing
- Ancillary services
- Capacity market
- Renewable support
- Embedded benefits
We can assess projects under different market scenarios, including key uncertainties such as decarbonisation and decentralisation of the generation mix, policy changes, commodity prices, and increased market penetration leading to the cannibalisation of revenues.
