Energy Transition & Renewables

The energy economy is changing quickly. This transformation is driven by the decarbonisation of the electricity industry, by advances in technology such as electric vehicles and energy storage, and by new information technologies such as the blockchain and “big data”. ESP Consulting supports both small and large entities to adapt to these changes whatever their position in the value chain, including investors and developers, asset owners, utilities and suppliers, traders, aggregators, and grid operators.
