GEC Strengthens Advisory Function to Address Evolving Energy Infrastructure Business

Green Energy Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Yasuto Fujimoto; hereinafter "GEC") will further strengthen its advisory function, which designs "options to advance business," in response to the changing environment surrounding energy infrastructure businesses, including renewable energy and storage batteries.

Energy Infrastructure Business Enters a More Complex Era

In recent years, the environment surrounding the energy infrastructure business has undergone significant changes.

In addition to changes in grid constraints, permits, construction costs, and financing environments, the players involved in projects are becoming increasingly diverse, making it more difficult to advance projects year by year.

On the other hand, the reasons for project stagnation are not always solely technical or economic.

Investors, developers, landowners, government agencies, financial institutions, EPCs, and local communities all make decisions based on their respective positions, objectives, and constraints. Therefore, even if individual decisions are rational, there are many situations where the project as a whole cannot move forward.

Designing "Options to Advance Business"

Since its founding, GEC has been involved in a variety of energy infrastructure projects, including support for project formation, support for project sales and purchases, and support for business development.

Through this practical experience, we have strongly felt that to move a business forward, there are perspectives that cannot be seen from a single standpoint.

Investors have their own perspective, and developers have their own circumstances. Landowners, government agencies, financial institutions, and EPCs also make decisions based on their respective objectives and constraints.

GEC believes its role is to understand each party's position and background, view them from an overarching perspective, and design "new options to advance business" that are difficult for the parties involved to find on their own.

We aim to be an advisor that provides options to advance business based on practical knowledge and market understanding, supporting the challenges of each business operator.

Turning Practical Knowledge into Greater Value

Going forward, GEC will further systematize the practical knowledge and market understanding accumulated through daily projects, and promote the creation of a system that can provide value in a wider range of areas, including project formation, business development, project sales and purchases, and support for investment decisions.

Precisely because the energy infrastructure business is becoming more complex, GEC aims to continue to be a partner that designs options to advance business, understanding each party's position based on practical knowledge.
