Our services include preparing procurement strategies and contracts, for example for the operators of distribution networks and transmission grids, and also for clients who trade in electricity, based on EFET. We also offer tax and financial structuring advice, help with regulation and licensing procedures for investment projects, and assist with various operational issues, suggesting innovative solutions where appropriate.
