Energy & Decarbonisation

We help businesses, governments, regulators and investors create a clean, affordable and reliable energy future.

As the world moves toward net zero emissions, we face a collective challenge to improve the quality of people’s lives and deliver nation-building change to our energy supply. From battery storage to hydrogen, groundbreaking new innovations are transforming the energy landscape.

The Australian Government, along with the states and territories, has pledged to achieve net zero emissions and many organisations have made their own commitment to eliminating carbon emissions from their use of energy.

The implications across the economy are great, from the need to build new generation and transmission infrastructure to the transformation of our workforce and rethinking how we use our land. Australia has the potential to be a renewable energy superpower – if we seize the moment.

We work with governments and businesses to make this transition a success. Our consultants have experience and expertise in strategy, policy and engagement to help organisations to plan and implement strategies to move toward net zero.

We are pleased to be the consulting partner in Net Zero Australia, a multi-year study that provides rigorous and independent analysis of how Australia can achieve net zero emissions for domestic and export economies.

Our work on decarbonisation aligns with our own support for a global transition to net-zero emissions.

Our work includes

  • Generators

    Australia's electricity generation sector is evolving as we transition from coal and hydroelectricity to a mix incorporating renewable energy and gas. We can support your efforts on issues including strategy development and market analysis, social license, the rights and involvement of traditional owners, skill development, and accommodation for temporary workforces.

  • Network operators

    Transmission networks allow the bulk transport of electricity at high voltages from a range of generators to major demand centers. We can support you with energy system transition, decarbonisation and net-zero policy, skill development, regulatory oversight and evaluation, and economic and data analysis.

  • Retailers

    Retailers trade electricity on wholesale and retail markets, and build relationships with consumers. We can support you with customer experience strategy and design, digital strategy and operating models, product design and commercialisation, and digital asset management.

  • Market operators

    Australia’s wholesale markets exist to support greater competition and investment in the electricity industry and allow generators and wholesale purchasers flexibility in how they buy or sell energy. We can support you with culture change and leadership development, workforce planning and digitisation, operating model design and implementation, and data strategy.

  • Policymakers

    The Australian energy sector operates in a complex regulatory environment. We can help regulators and regulated entities have a real impact with policy statements, collaboration forums and consultation with communities, staff and industry. We also help policymakers to smooth the path to net zero through policy and regulatory development, stakeholder engagement, and evaluation.

  • Organisations seeking to cut emissions

    Consumers and regulators are putting increasing pressure on organisations to cut emissions. The solution lies in changing practices across organisations – in ways that stick. We can help you to establish a decarbonisation strategy and make the cultural and policy changes required to put it into action.
