Review of the peak-plateau-decline trajectory to support investment decisions

Main sectors: ENERGY and CLIMATE CHANGE

Client:

An Investment Group

Problem Statement:

As a responsible investor with a public stated policy with respect to investments which are cognisant of climate change, our client sought to understand the implications of investment in coal-fired power stations for the greenhouse gas emissions trajectory for the electricity sector.

The Green House approach:

The Green House built an Excel-based model which could be used to explore the emissions profile under a number of assumptions related to electricity demand, and the penetration of renewable and non-renewable electricity generation technologies. The model was developed with a simple to use user interface to make it accessible to non-technical stakeholders.

Outcomes:

The model and an accompanying presentation of the results were provided to the client to use in the engagement of stakeholders across the company.
