I identify the commercial risks hidden inside complex energy deals, rank them so executives can see what matters, and design practical solutions that work in the real world, not just on paper.
Core expertise
From the first read of the risk to a signed agreement that holds up in operation.
All services →Commercial risk identification and ranking
We surface the commercial risks hidden inside complex energy agreements, then rank them so executives can see what matters and what does not.
Energy deal structuring
Structuring and negotiating GSAs, PPAs, tolling agreements, and gas storage and transportation contracts, and taking generation projects through development: AEMO and generator market registration, Generator Performance Standards negotiation, and plant control system design for grid connection.
Hedging and price-risk management
Structuring and pricing the hedges themselves, CfD structures against five minute spot electricity markets and bilateral gas price-risk frameworks, built and tested against real market conditions, not advised in the abstract.
Large-scale contract review
Reviewing long, complex commercial sections quickly, often turning around key risk findings within 24 hours when a deal is moving.
Procurement strategy and negotiation
Running structured procurement and counterparty processes for long-term supply, tiering counterparties by genuine appetite and creating real competitive tension, with negotiations framed around mutual commercial benefit, not just price.
Who I work with
Commercial and industrial buyers
Heavy industry and major producers securing flexible, well-structured supply agreements optimised for cost and risk.

Rank and design
We rank the risks that matter, then design a practical commercial pathway and negotiation strategy built for the real market, not just on paper.

We support the negotiation through to a signed agreement that transitions cleanly into commercial operations after execution.
