Our mission

Germany aims to become climate neutral by 2045. We consider the transformation of the energy system as a whole in order to ensure that the energy supply of the future is environmentally friendly, secure, economically viable and fair. We are involved in the import, generation, distribution and marketing of electricity and district heating as well as hydrogen and its derivatives. Our focus is on technical, economic and regulatory issues.

Our approach

Our focus is on the transformation of the conventional energy industry. We offer comprehensive consulting services, work on an interdisciplinary basis with various partners, and prepare studies and analyses. We bring stakeholders together in complex stakeholder processes and support the German government in the implementation of various energy transition measures.

Our organisational structure

The division, which has around 100 employees, is divided into three areas of activity. 

Renewable energies: focuses on renewable heat, bioenergy and market-related topics such as verification and financing issues. The working group also advises the German renewable energy industry on exporting its technologies abroad. 

Electricity: focuses in particular on the electricity system and thus on issues such as security of supply, expansion of wind and PV, restructuring of the electricity grids and ensuring security of supply and system stability. 

Hydrogen and resilience: focuses on promoting the development of hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives as reliable energy carriers and increasing the overall resilience of the energy supply.
