KEMA launches retail clean energy markets service
BURLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS - Rising prices, aggressive policy change and large-scale capital investment are all signs that point to a strong shift toward cleaner, smarter energy use. The initial momentum has been focused upstream, but the adoption of cleaner, smarter energy solutions at the end user level is now emerging.
In response, global energy and utility industry consulting firm KEMA has launched an advisory service to focus on the business issues and market dynamics of clean energy at the retail level.
“The retail segment of the clean energy industry is clearly poised to grow. The opportunities and risks are evolving rapidly,” said Hugo van Nispen, president and managing director, KEMA Inc. “Yet many in the industry are challenged to understand the specifics. KEMA’s retail clean energy advisory service will help fill the analytical gaps, providing clients with a fact base and insights to guide strategy and action.”
The Retail Clean Energy Markets advisory service (www.kema.com/retail_clean_energy) centers around five core sectors categorized from a customer purchasing perspective: clean grid power, clean distributed power, energy efficiency services, demand response and carbon services. The subscriber-based service includes: Clean Energy Markets, a monthly de-brief of industry developments; Clean Energy Outlook, an annual forecast of the retail market opportunity; Sector Profiles; admission to KEMAÂ’s annual Clean Energy Summit; and ad-hoc consultancy.
