“We build small, responsive teams to help clients (i) identify and differentiate between typical, normal industry risks and project specific risks, and (ii) expose the external threats, potential conflicts, and disequilibrium that continue to significantly affect capital investment outcomes.
With over $100 billion in investment and development advisory experience across the project lifecycle and energy value chain, encap.consulting is ideally positioned to support and enable major capital allocation decisions driving the energy transition.
Together with our accomplished partner network, we can help global debt and equity investors achieve greater returns on time and capital by focussing on demonstrably resilient and sustainable outcomes.”
