  • Market Analysis for EC DG Ener: Enerdata performed a market analysis with 3 project partners on energy prices in EU and G20 countries, including energy costs in industry and hourly power generation and prices, including power technologies’ profitability.

The project was done with three tasks, Enerdata was task lead on the first and third:

  1. Analysis of energy prices to update the energy price database of the customer, with a breakdown per type of consumer.
  2. Analysis of energy costs for industry to gather and assess the energy costs for industry of more than 30 sectors, and to assess the impact of energy costs in industries’ competitiveness.
  3. Power technologies profitability and hourly data collection to assess the impact of hourly power generation and price variations on power technologies.
  • Ad hoc Study for a globally recognised development bank: Enerdata undertook an assessment of power generation assets in African countries to assess possible options for enhanced cost management of infrastructure projects across the electricity supply chain. A cost reference database was created on:
    • Generating assets [hydro, coal (ST), gas (GT, CC, ST + Engines), liquids (ST+Engines), wind, solar PV+CSP]
    • Electrical transmission
    • Electrical distribution

As a result of the engagement, the client was able to gain a holistic view of its assets and make informed strategic decisions related to cost management.

  • Market Study and Entry Market Strategy for a Singapore based Clean Tech Company. The market study included the analysis of 11 countries in Asia, the assessment of the existing barriers such as policy regulations, pricing, competitors and technical assessment. Most of the information collected by Enerdata was gathered through primary research based on direct interviews with main market players and field experts. As part of the project, Enerdata designed the framework for the market entry strategy.
  • Feasibility Study for a Philippines mining company. The mining company wanted to assess the best long-term strategy for supplying power to the mine. Enerdata assessed three major solutions namely, power grid purchase, in-situ diesel power generation and an in-situ small scale LNG solution. The in-situ small scale LNG solution was preferred and Enerdata is currently supporting the client in the further step to finalise the long-term LNG supply contract details including index pricing formulae.
