Growing alternative power options

Nations are drawing on increasingly diverse energy sources to help deliver reliable, secure and affordable supply as they move to decarbonise their energy networks. Nuclear, energy from waste, biofuels, biomass, biogas and hydro are all essential sectors that are contributing to the new and increasingly sustainable energy mix.

Across the alternative power sectors, investors and energy organisations face common barriers in establishing the business case, securing finance, keeping pace with evolving policy and gaining the support of stakeholders. In delivery, projects are innovative and demanding and often present challenges in meeting budgets and timelines.

Nuclear is the second largest source of low carbon electricity globally and offers future potential with advances in fusion technology. In new development, nuclear presents particular challenges in the scale and complexity of projects and the specialised skills and capabilities they demand, while in advanced economies there is a move to decommission existing sites.

Our expertise in alternative power

Our expertise in the alternative power sector enables us to drive delivery of these innovative and complex projects. We understand the challenges throughout the project lifecycle, from funding to delivery and operation.

With 20 years’ experience in the alternative power sector, we have assembled a wealth of data and market intelligence, enabling us to benchmark performance and devise solutions. We apply our experience and data to shape the business case, enable certainty, navigate potential risks and maximise opportunities.

Alternative power perspectives

Our global experts give their views and analysis of the trends across the diverse alternative power sectors and outline the good practice that can drive success in programmes and projects.

Alternative power services

We bring global reach and local knowledge. Our expertise in the alternative power sector extends from advisory services to project and programme management, cost, contract and commercial management and project control.

Our analysis, cost models and market intelligence are based on data and experience from capital projects globally. Our independent perspective drives the right project solution and the right supply chain to maximise value and performance.

Turner &Townsend's senior management on the framework have worked proactively and collaboratively with Magnox in a difficult transitional period to deliver an improved project controls capability to our Strategic Programmes whilst targeting no overall increase in cost. Their team has brought some innovative and industry best practice project controls solutions to help improve the delivery of our project and programme teams and have also worked in partnership with Magnox to develop our own project controls staff at the same time.
