Our track record spans landmark projects ranging from the design and operation of the European power market - widely regarded as a global benchmark - to the development of electricity markets across Africa, Asia and the Americas.

Our team is dedicated to delivering expertise and solutions that support the evolution of wholesale electricity markets in a wide range of areas besides electricity market design including development of regulations and rules, power exchange organization, capacity building and training on physical and financial electricity markets.
