"Disruption creates opportunities and there is no shortage of opportunities as the transition from old to new energy gathers pace. These opportunities are attracting a wide variety of companies - from large corporations from adjacent verticals to private equity players and start-ups backed by venture capital.

We can help investors and innovators understand where to invest, who to partner with, and how to maximise collaborations - as well as getting them up to speed quickly on a breadth of new energy topics."

Jon Slowe, Director

As the energy market transitions from old to new energy we are seeing new entrants, innovators and disrupters entering the energy market. Delta-EE can quickly upskill these organisations and offer a reliable view of the direction of the market based on many years of research on this topic on which they can build their market entry strategy.

We provide a variety of support to new entrants and innovators including helping them understand the nature of the opportunity today - both in terms of product, propositions, markets and competition - providing the breadth of insight from many years of experience in this sector.

We help companies understand the future pathway for a particular technology, business model or market and the factors that will influence this. We support investors and innovators differentiate between products and technologies, understanding and developing their value proposition, risk factors and other metrics to support a market entry strategy. Our work includes competitor analysis and partnership screening, identifying competitors and potential partnership opportunities.

Projects are commissioned on a bespoke basis and tailored to each individual client. Typically, our projects include a mixture of customer & installer research, technology sales forecasting, market research, policy and technology tracking, economic modelling and an understanding of commercial customer decision making.

Case studies

Telcos and Energy

A major European telco wanted to understand opportunities in the energy sector; a utility wanted to explore opportunities to collaborate with telcos. Delta-EE organised and ran a collaborative workshop to help each company better understand the opportunity.

Due Diligence

A private equity firm commissioned Delta-EE to carry out due diligence for a further funding round in a smart grid company. Delta-EE’s research and analysis gave the firm sufficient confidence to invest in the funding round.

Flexibility

A private client wanted to understand the value of flexibility and explore the opportunities for them to maximise their capacity for flexibility, with what asset – this was taken forward into their business plan.

Market Analysis

The advisors for a sale of a leading distributed energy company commissioned Delta-ee to provide independent research and analysis of the market for the company’s product. The advisors successfully sold the business to a major utility company.

Telenergy

We held a workshop for a telco and energy supplier, to help them establish ways they could work together to reach new customers and understand the opportunities in the ‘Home Life as a Service’ future.
