Our focus over the past three years has been on Smart Metering and Energy Services. This has encompassed international studies of developments in this field conducted by our European team of industry experts (see people section) as well as projects focused on helping players decide on and capture their particular space in the Smart value chain.

Our understanding of Smart energy/Smart utilities

The new world is likely to be very different to the world of today. We sum it up in the following formula:

Smart = Meter + Grid + Comms + NewGen + Refurb + EVs + Funding

We have produced a short pack of slides which illustrates the emergent system. We think the picture may surprise you since the true scope of Smart encompasses a world much larger than that of the existing industry.

"Enstra led a series of workshops on the Smart Metering opportunity in the UK. They brought to bear their considerable knowledge of developments in this arena with a well structured consulting process to enable us to formulate ideas on where our particular capabilities were a good fit with opportunities in different areas of the Smart value chain."

Michael Jones - Head of Utilties, Ericsson

The Enstra difference

We can make you more successful because we bring you both content and process:

"enstra's work was seminal and transforming, providing a catalyst for action which, because of its thoroughness and transparent integrity, unlocked an organisation from years of attrition and put it on the road to a different and better future."

Jenny Kirkpatrick, Chief Executive of the Electricity Association

"Enstra's knowledge of the UK energy and energy services market was extremely helpful in producing rapid feedback on the potential for Innax in the UK market. We have been pleased with their willingness to take a flexible and hands-on approach in supporting us which has not only provided us with some "good ideas" but has also delivered some active relationships in the UK Housing Association sector. An in-depth understanding of the UK energy markets combined with a real interest and understanding of our business provided us with true added value."
