GIGAFACTORIES & GREEN HYDROGEN

Enabling Green Manufacturing at Scale

Gigafactories and green hydrogen facilities are among the most power-intensive assets being built today — requiring exceptional grid and energy architecture to deliver at scale.

Focus Areas Our Capabilities Our Work Our Experts
RECENT FOCUS AREAS
Multi-Gigawatt Power Planning
Developing grid connection strategies for facilities with power demands of 500MW to 3GW, including transmission reinforcement engagement and phased connection structures.
Green Hydrogen Power Structuring
Designing the renewable power supply and grid architecture required to power electrolysis at scale, from 10MW pilots to GW-class production facilities.
Transmission Reinforcement Advocacy
Engaging with TSOs and regulators to secure transmission reinforcement commitments aligned to gigafactory development timelines and investment decisions.
Carbon and Sustainability Integration
Advising on carbon reporting, sustainability certification, and green hydrogen standards applicable to facility operations and offtake agreements.
Power Purchase Agreement Origination
Originating large-scale renewable PPAs and corporate power agreements to supply the enormous energy demand of gigafactory and hydrogen operations.

Power Architecture for Net-Zero Manufacturing

GW-Scale Grid Strategy
Developing transmission-level connection strategies for facilities with demand profiles that require dedicated substation and reinforcement infrastructure.
Electrolyser Power Supply
Designing the power supply architecture for large-scale electrolysis — integrating grid connection, renewables, and storage to optimise hydrogen production cost.
PPA Origination
Structuring long-term renewable power agreements for gigafactory operations at the scale and risk profile required by manufacturers and their lenders.
Transmission Engagement
Managing proactive relationships with transmission operators and energy regulators to secure the approvals and commitments that underpin GW-scale projects.

Our Work

Case Study

3GW Gigafactory Power Strategy, Northern Europe

Developed a phased transmission connection strategy for a battery gigafactory requiring 3GW at full production — securing initial 500MW connection and regulatory commitments for full build-out.

Portfolio Advisory

Green Hydrogen PPA Portfolio, Iberia

Originated 1.8GW of renewable PPAs for a green hydrogen production consortium in Spain and Portugal, enabling bankable offtake agreements for European industrial buyers.
