Our capacity-building expertise enhances the ability of local government institutions to keep up with new actors and developments in the energy sector while ensuring good governance. We offer energy-related advice in the areas of policy & regulation, access to finance, technical assessment, institutional strengthening, private sector development and fund management.
Our energy services are designed to support governments in their pursuit of a cleaner, more efficient, and informed energy sector management. We assess and further develop countries’ RE support schemes, evaluate whether regulatory frameworks are conducive to RE, and identify low-cost, high-impact solutions.
The Challenge
As a knowledge-based company, NIRAS brings deep expertise to the rapidly evolving sustainable energy market. The climate economy is now competitive, attracting attention from both large investment institutions and the private sector. Falling technology costs are driving an appetite for RE and energy-efficient solutions in infrastructure and buildings.
Yet mainstream adoption remains essential. Many countries still rely on carbon-based energy, which is becoming more expensive than modern alternatives. A shift towards a clean economy is not only inevitable, it is urgent.
This transition, however, has far-reaching implications across economic, political, environmental and social spheres such as infrastructure, industry, education, employment, land-use and equality among others. Adjusting strategies and energy systems requires significant long-term, coordinated efforts. As a next generation consultancy company, NIRAS supports this transformation through systemic, cross-sector thinking and a commitment to a just energy transition for all.
#GREENsition
In 2022, NIRAS committed to significantly scale up its contribution to the green energy transition over the next decade, aiming to become Scandinavia's leading RE consultant. This strategic initiative includes massive investment in research and development, skills development, partnerships, and recruitment of 400 new experts in the fields of wind energy, electricity, and green fuels. A total of 13% of NIRAS’s earnings will be invested in green energy conversion efforts with returns expected from 2027.
