Our support in Energy Markets and Low Carbon Innovation includes advising on:
Regulated Markets: the sale and purchase of energy and carbon in markets subject to regulatory oversight and the management of risk through related products such as weather derivatives, including long term sale and purchase contracts, such as Power Purchase Agreements. We also advise on market developments and structures, including the current Electricity Market Review in the UK.
Network Regulation: the ownership and operation of networks in the regulated utility sector, including network connection, OFTOs, smart or future grids, smart metering and grid and other regulated operations.
Low Carbon Innovation: the application of various technology solutions to reduce the carbon impact of energy production and consumption. The technical solutions are characterised by their application at, or close to, the point of energy consumption and behavioural changes of consumers and distributors of energy, including ESCOs/MUSCOs, small scale and micro-generation such as solar, and green building management.
