Case studies
Energy giants join for energy transition
Two major energy companies sought to collaborate on a large-scale renewable energy project to meet global sustainability goals. They faced regulatory hurdles, financing challenges, and the need to integrate new technologies into their existing infrastructure while ensuring compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
Driving Europe’s subsidy-free future
A leading energy company aimed to transition to a subsidy-free model for renewable energy projects across Europe. The challenge was to ensure that these projects could be financially viable without relying on government subsidies, navigating complex regulatory environments, and managing financing risks.
