AEC Delivery

Political and policy analysis 

Our team of career Africanists, political scientists and industry observers are able to provide incisive analysis on a country’s political environment, energy policy direction, and governance issues.

Competitive landscape

Our industry-leading database of power plants and projects – and the organisations behind them – means we can provide you with exclusive data-driven insights and analysis of trends impacting the sector, alongside detailed information on key projects and actors.

Electricity demand and supply forecasting

Our independent projections are based on the actual project pipeline and give you a clear picture of both the opportunities and threats to your investment.

Pricing information

Knowing where your power project fits in to the merit order is key; we provide our clients with tariff information giving you critical insight into the competitiveness of power generation projects.

Payments risk

By analysing the financial workings of the energy sector, assessing the credit worthiness of state utilities and providing critical financial and payment risk reporting, we can help you mitigate these risks.
