We wrote the argument for giving network operators and their software platforms real, permissioned access to granular consumption data — deliberately separating that from open publication, so the case couldn't be dismissed on security grounds.

Impact: gave regulators live in consultation a clear, defensible position to build policy around, instead of a binary open-vs-closed debate.

We led the sourcing and structuring of distribution network headroom and substation data across multiple UK network operators, briefing an external data science team to turn it into local-authority-ready demand and asset-potential maps — feeding directly into a run of council tender submissions across England.

Impact: gave a public charging operator's bids a level of network-grounded evidence competitors couldn't easily match, contributing to a string of successful local authority wins.

We've provided formal expert advisory and witness input on electricity market structure, DER economics, and flexibility mechanisms — grounding regulatory, legal, and institutional decision-making in practitioner-level technical reality rather than theory.

Impact: brought independently verifiable, hands-on market expertise to processes where the stakes and scrutiny are highest.

When a country's smart metering data backbone changed hands, we treated it as a rare first-principles opportunity rather than a like-for-like replacement — proposing a shift from gatekeeping to genuine many-to-many data distribution.

Impact: gave policymakers and platform designers a concrete blueprint for correcting a structural flaw before it got rebuilt into the next generation of infrastructure.

We've supported a flexibility trading platform on funding bid materials, technical positioning, and expert profiling for their own institutional relationships — plus sat on a cross-industry working group shaping formal guidance on smart metering data governance, alongside major DNOs, national infrastructure bodies, and technical consultancies.

Impact: strengthened both the platform's own funding position and the industry-wide rules that determine how flexibility data gets shared.

We sit on the advisory board of one of GB's regional electricity distribution networks, providing strategic input on flexibility market design, DER integration, and the network's own digitalisation priorities.

Impact: gives an independent aggregator's perspective a permanent seat at the table where network investment and flexibility procurement decisions get shaped — not just a one-off consultation response.

Through a specialist expert network, we've provided on-the-record analysis to global investment clients on generator economics and system reliability in liberalised power markets — including direct comparative work on Japan's market structure.

Impact: gave capital allocators outside our home market a grounded, practitioner-level view they couldn't get from a bank note or a trade press summary.

Alongside residential charging work, we've provided ongoing external perspective to a public charge point operator's product team — regular roadmap catch-ups, energy-market input, and site visits to see installations first-hand rather than advising from a spreadsheet.

Impact: kept the product roadmap grounded in how the electricity market actually behaves, from someone who'd been to the kerbside chargers, not just the boardroom

We've fielded detailed technical questions from global strategy consultancies supporting regulatory design work in the Gulf, and provided recurring expert input to institutional investors trying to understand UK and international grid modernisation.

Impact: exported hard-won UK regulatory lessons — what worked, what didn't, what Ofgem got right — to markets building their energy systems from the ground up.

We've provided ongoing technical advisory input to the national body responsible for balancing GB's electricity system in real time — bringing independent, aggregator-side perspective to discussions that are otherwise dominated by incumbent supplier and generator voices.

Impact: helped ensure the system operator's thinking on flexibility and DER participation reflects how independent market entrants actually operate, not just how the largest incumbents want the rules written.
