De-risk your energy projects from feasibility to commercial operation
Integrating live UK energy market feeds with predictive modelling to shield capital-intensive renewable, storage and electrification projects from market volatility, grid delays and regulatory shifts.
Live feeds: Elexon BMRS market index price, National Grid Carbon Intensity API and the NESO Transmission Entry Capacity register. Refreshed every 5 minutes.
The framework
The four pillars of energy de-risking
Every mandate is assessed across the same four pillars, then prioritised by capital at risk — not by whichever workstream shouts loudest.
01
📈
Financial & PPA De-risking
Structuring corporate PPAs, forecasting UK spot price cannibalisation and modelling long-term floor prices so revenue stacks stay bankable.
▸Corporate PPA structuring
▸Capture-rate & cannibalisation modelling
▸CfD and Capacity Market positioning
02
🔌
Grid Queue & Regulatory Protection
Auditing NESO and DNO substation capacity, connection queue position and Ofgem policy shifts before they reprice your business case.
▸Connection offer review
▸Flexible & private wire options
▸DUoS / TNUoS exposure mapping
03
🏗️
CapEx & Procurement Vetting
Vetting supplier lead times, transformer and switchgear availability and EPC counterparty creditworthiness ahead of financial close.
▸Long-lead item tracking
▸EPC counterparty screening
▸Contingency and indexation review
04
🤖
Operational AI Optimisation
Deploying continuous machine-learning overlays for BESS dispatch and dynamic import/export hedging once the asset is energised.
▸BESS revenue stacking
▸Dynamic hedging overlays
▸Triad-era and DUoS red-band avoidance
