We help project owners and financers make infrastructure investments feasible
We want to contribute to larger societal benefits by more sustainable and more innovative investments. We strive for faster and more efficient investments through new delivery and financing models, where involved stakeholders have incentives to continuously improve the performance of the investment over its lifecycle.
The output of our work is feasible business cases and infrastructure service models. We focus on ‘built environment’ (e.g. high-speed trams, railways, bridges) and energy. In the energy sector, we have competence from the entire supply chain ranging from renewable fuels, power generation and distribution to new business models for smart energy consumption.
Through our close collaboration with world-leading research institutions in the field of infrastructure investments, we are able to engage international top level experts in our client assignments.
Examples of analysis that we provide are:
Market screening to identify investment opportunities
Cost-Benefit, quantification of ecosystem level benefits
Business models, business case modelling
Value for Money assessments
Alternative delivery and financing models (e.g. PPP, IPD)
Governance models, incentive structures to drive investment performance throughout the lifecycle

Featured insights
New delivery and financing structures for infrastructure that enable co-investments with domestic investors taking the lead can be the solution. Overcoming this challenge will increase the long-term value created by our society and secure that our citizens also capture the fruits of their work.
Reducing emissions is a business opportunity. There are enough technologies available to reduce emission 50% by 2030 at a low cost. To capitalize on it you need to productize the emission reduction as part of the offering and the investment.
Of late, the proverbial wave of renewable energy that has swept over parts of the world has been coupled with the clearer understanding that in order to fully utilize their planet-saving potential, the issue of intermittency needs to be addressed and solved; Intermittency, in energy industry jargon, meaning the fact that the sun does not always shine, the wind does not always blow, and actual non-proverbial waves do not always sweep the oceans.
Megaprojects are large-scale infrastructure projects with investment budgets exceeding USD 1 billion.
Capacity Markets (CMs) is an increasingly popular policy measure being considered in European electricity markets with the aim of securing electricity supply at the lowest cost to consumers as well as supporting new investment into power generation assets. In the UK, it is already up and running and constitutes a key part of their Electricity Market Reform program. Similar auction-based Capacity Markets are being formed in Ireland, France, and Italy.
Industrial and infrastructure investments are constantly becoming more complicated and sizable. At the same time there are alarmingly high cost overruns, delays and underperformance.
Uncertainty in large projects is not only a risk for negative consequences but also a source for innovation and improving efficiency.
Large infrastructure investments in Europe are in average two years delayed and record a 60% cost overrun.
What is the value of investments in infrastructure? Surprisingly, the answer is not obvious
Both practitioners and researchers are increasingly moving away from tools that make decisions for the users, towards tools that aid users in making the best decision.
