About you

Utilities frequently have to make major decisions on buying and selling assets, large fuel contracts, vertical integration and much more besides. These decisions demand strategic discussion based on a detailed understanding of scenarios in order to evaluate risks and opportunities properly.

This is where EPSI comes into its own, because it enables all the individual decision makers within the utility to have proper and detailed insight themselves. All too often, big decisions have to made on the basis of a static consultants’ report. But with EPSI, utility management teams and analysts can create a highly productive platform for discussion both internally and with their partners.

EPSI allows all decision makers to share a platform for brainstorming, exploring and testing. Ultimately, EPSI helps reduce the risk of making wrong decisions.

One of the big benefits of EPSI for developers is the ability to identify potential markets and locations for new power generation capacity. EPSI provides detailed, up-to-date country summaries, merit orders and portfolio overviews, completely solving what can be a painful process to get high-level information on unfamiliar markets.

EPSI is also ideal at the intermediate development stage. Using the product’s highly visual models and market scenarios, you can present a compelling business case to potential investors, suppliers and partners by focusing on how the market is likely to evolve, the likely needs for new capacity and which type. As a result, you are able to home in on the key profitability indicators.

At the advanced stage, EPSI also comes into its own. Discussions with suppliers and partners can be based on market scenarios modelled within EPSI. These scenarios can also serve as reference points for your consultants conducting their independent market study during the process of obtaining finance.

Sometimes, as a trader, you do not have time to rely on your in-house fundamental analysis team. Besides, exploring risks and sensitivities is a task you’d probably prefer to do yourself. Whether you need to focus on regular daily market updates or occasional explorations, EPSI is the perfect scenario development tool. It’s fast, easy to use but very powerful.

Sourcing data outside markets that you already know is always a time-consuming and difficult task for fundamental analysis teams. Then there’s the tedious job of processing that data into a model-ready format.

With EPSI, your team has immediate access to all the high quality, reliable data they are ever likely to need and they can immediately upload it into their own models.

They also have the option to use EPSI’s own integrated models which are highly visual and clear. Sometimes, large complex models create barriers to proper, shared insight and the most important issues get lost in the detail. EPSI:MODEL overcomes this because it’s easy to use, clear and fast. It presents high-level views in a common format so that everyone can see, understand and discuss complex issues.

Making a major buying or selling decision on generation assets or perhaps an entire portfolio demands clear understanding of the fundamental issues at stake between M&A advisers and their client.

EPSI offers exactly that: clarity and shared insight based on scenarios that make sense of even the most complex or subtle issues. EPSI is a platform that allows you as advisers to engage fully with senior management and talk at their level, enabling better decisions so better risk management.

When it comes to making decisions about project finance, evaluating a debt-financed initiative or getting credit committee approval, EPSI offers much greater insight and shared understanding of the key issues involved than could ever be achieved from a static consultant’s report. Again, shared insight and understanding leads to better decisions.

Access to high quality, up-to-date and validated power sector data is crucial for large consultancy firms enabling you to win and complete client projects with confidence. With EPSI, you can rely on comprehensive, accurate data, leaving your team free to focus on market modelling and working with the client directly.

EPSI supports all modelling software and offers a tight interface between the data format and whatever modelling system is being used.

With EPSI, as a small consultancy you can come across as much bigger than you are. It also enables you to pitch for bigger, more strategic projects than you might otherwise be able to do. EPSI’s combination of comprehensive, reliable European power market data and fully integrated modelling tools is ideal for small consultancy firms.

Using EPSI, your consultants can exploit the modelling functionality to add value to their insight, for example, into the strategic focus of a company, the case for selling or buying assets, de-risking large contracts, evaluating strategic rationale or vertical integration.

Quality data is essential for model software developers who want to be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of their products. Having a reliable data solution also gives you a significant competitive advantage in the market.

Energy Fundamentals is the perfect data partner for developers who want to focus on their core skills and yet present their customers with a complete solution.
