It is important to SUND Energy to be adding value. We believe competition and innovation are important and we strive to be the best choice for our clients, both in the short and long run. Our greatest complement is when clients have not only achieved good results, but also grown as a company by working with us.

We are motivated by excelling in difficult tasks, and have several times assisted in letting our clients achieve what the consensus believed was “impossible”. Also, we find communication to be important and frequently support companies in understanding other mind sets to overcome barriers in development or negotiations.

How the other side thinks

Much of what we do is “bridging” environments by assisting companies in designing their business in the best way and understanding their counterparts and stakeholders. Mindsets are diverse and the right answer is not always the same for all parties. This is increasingly important to understand in new projects or partnerships. Risk comfort also varies from player to player, and a successful partnership is often about allocating the risk to the right players. Some examples of bridging assistance:

• Regulators and grid companies: to understand industry players to better achieve national goals with private investments and ensure that infrastructure is robust for future trends
• Power companies entering gas and gas players working with power investors
• Engineering focus translated to board level or financial focus to ensure funding – and vice versa
• Upstream and downstream, especially in gas, how to manage better in future optimisation
• Business and IT, business and organization, corporate governance and more

Other activities

The SUND Energy team speaks at conferences and contributes to academic processes in the area of commercial gas and power. We have a large network of contacts in many countries, and increasingly, clients are finding this useful, not only in understanding market developments, but also in finding partners and business opportunities.

Sund Energy supports Room to Read, a programme for education, reading and dreaming, giving new opportunities to girls and boys in many developing countries.
