People and organisations must innovate together at scale and adopt new digital capabilities at pace.
Reimagining how data is used needs ingenuity and creativity – the AI revolution requires us to redesign operating models to enable people and technology to create value together.
We bring experience and expertise from across the energy industry to help you rethink ‘the art of the possible’ with domain experts who also know how to lead and navigate complex change.
Digital Energy Solutions exists to help people and organisations collaborate with purpose, and around a deep belief in the power of data to drive integration and performance improvement.
Our work is defined by a commitment to excellence and a passion for empowering organisations to adopt and embed cutting-edge digital capability.
Energy demand and climate change necessitate urgent shifts in energy production, supply, and consumption. Our Vision is that governments, regulators, industry and providers of capital work together to fund and execute resource projects responsibly to deliver a reliable and sustainable energy system for today, tomorrow and the future. We believe this requires strong digital foundations so that reliable information supports integrated decisions to benefit society.
Developing the information standards and technology foundations to support the shift between hydrocarbon, renewable, and emerging energy sources requires industry-level collaboration and public private partnership. Our Mission is to lead and support action by governments, companies and investors – we help unleash the infinite potential of data through blending of technology with human expertise to create essential digital capabilities needed within and between organisations.
Our three step approach ensures you work on the things that matter most, that you can deliver as you intend, and gives you telemetry to show whether you are on track.
We recommend starting with a diagnostic Delivery Assurance Review to identify both quick wins and strategic adjustments, then a targeted conversation about delivery capability.

In asset-intensive industries, strategies rarely fail in design. They fail in the operating model that carries them. Williams Strategy Partners (WSP) is our strategic partner for the business performance, operating model, and execution work that determines whether transformation lands with impact. Founded by Clay Williams after 25 years leading global transformations inside major energy companies, WSP works directly with executive teams to convert strategic intent into measurable improvement on the metrics that matter: cost, reliability, safety, capital, and growth.
Two sets of specialist capabilities; one delivery system.
Most consultancies blur strategy and digital into one offering, and the seam between them is where transformation value leaks. WSP and Digital Energy bring together specialists who can operate as one delivery system. WSP leads on business strategy, operating model, and performance; DES leads on digital strategy, technology, and AI. Strategy and operating model decisions are made before the technology choices that enable them, not retrofitted. Our commitment to clients is straightforward: we agree what value looks like at the start and ensure commitments are delivered.

In the energy industry, projects rarely fail due to lack of technical knowledge; they fail due to poor framing, siloed disciplines, and decisions made without the rigour or governance to make them stick. GEMS Consulting is our strategic partner for technical project delivery, decision quality, and assurance work that determines whether energy development projects succeed.
Drawing on decades of hands-on experience across the global energy industry, GEMS brings together a network of highly experienced associates with practical expertise spanning the full project lifecycle. We tailor our teams and scale our solutions to the risk profile and complexity of each engagement, making deep collective experience accessible to companies of all sizes.
GEMS structures its work around three core principles:

In data-intensive industries, technology driven improvement rarely fails due to the technology in isolation. What frequently does fail is connecting business context to the data the technology manages preventing people from deriving insight and value. Agreeing what data means and ensuring it is shared effectively, ensures value lands.
TerraneXus is our partner for data architecture, semantic modelling, and technical standards work that determines whether information platforms earn trust and can scale across organisations and across industries. Making well informed decisions is at the heart of managing risk and better-quality data, used with shared meaning and trust, raises the quality of every decision an organisation makes.
And as an outcome, we create the foundation on which effective AI solutions can be built, after all models are only as good as the data and meaning within them.
Founded by Chris Hough, a geologist with more than 25 years in energy and mining, TerraneXus brings together experienced subsurface professionals who have worked across the exploration, appraisal, and production lifecycles. They help turn raw data into something findable, trusted, and ready to use at scale.
Two disciplines; one foundation
Most digital and data programmes treat data models as something to sort out later, and this is often why value leaks. TerraneXus and DES bring together specialists who operate within an integrated delivery system. DES leads on digital strategy, technology, and AI; TerraneXus leads on model-driven data architecture, semantic modelling, and up-to-date industry standards. Together we ensure business needs are understood and reflected in data model designs as digital platforms are built.

Many entrants to the Chinese market have a sound strategy but execution often fails due to fragmented chains of advisors, lawyers, distributors, and agencies where value leaks at every handoff. We partner with Ceptor A&E to help European companies, primarily energy GreenTech SMEs, establish a rapid and effective Chinese presence. Founded and led by André Hemmerle, with extensive experience of living and working in China, Ceptor advises and supports Chinese market entry through its operational holding, DMH, enabling clients to establish and run a Chinese entity directly, with the client in control from day one.
Structure and operations under one accountability line.
Where most providers incorporate without operating, or operate without incorporating, Ceptor and DMH work as an integrated delivery system. Ceptor leads on due diligence, legal structuring, entity formation, and partner selection; DMH runs day-to-day regulatory approvals, the local team, and a full eCommerce suite, as well as sourcing financing and private equity support where capital partners can accelerate growth. With client affiliates sitting under Ceptor’s existing China holding, entry takes weeks rather than quarters and converts cleanly into the client’s own entity or JV when they choose.
With direct access to local networks and industry associations, Ceptor opens doors that advisory-only firms cannot.

In an increasingly digital world understanding the impact and flow of data and information is fundamental to making the right decisions and taking the right actions at the right time. Workflow Dynamics helps organisations develop and execute strategies that transform complex data and information landscapes into high value intelligence that maximises value from people and processes through digital innovation and transformation.
With decades of experience in enterprise level information and data management, they operate primarily in asset-intensive and highly regulated environments where data quality, governance and execution discipline are critical. Their expertise includes data and digital strategy, operating models, governance, analytics, AI and workflow digitalisation. This allows them to help clients improve operational performance, reduce risk and build scalable digital capabilities.
This provides the often-missing link – aligning business objectives with digital ambitions, creating ownership and delivery accountability for data assets, and as a result a move beyond strategy to sustained impact. Engagements include defining or resetting data strategies, establishing pragmatic data governance and operating models, stabilising or recovering challenged programs and building internal capability for long-term success.

Capability, not intent, is what limits digital programmes. Leaders commit to a strategy or investment, then find the people expected to deliver have limited grounding in the complex interaction of industry, data, domain, technology and project management expertise. Consultants and advisers close gaps for the duration of an engagement but reopen the week they leave. Organisations that deliver value from digital investment are those that build knowledge internally while foundations are being put in place.
CorpStage is our knowledge and training partner led by Dr Nisha Kohli, who advises boards, C-Suite and regulators across a range of domains and provides the CorpStage Academy through which we provide learning programmes, so clients develop the knowledge required to operate in a digitally enabled energy system.
CorpStage Academy provides a certificated training platform built around roles that carry responsibility. Together we develop and run programmes in-house, virtually, or as modules within a client’s own learning curriculum. Participants develop the knowledge they need to operate industry leading practices on new digital foundations.
Knowledge alongside delivery
DES leads on digital strategy, technology and AI delivery; CorpStage leads on the learning frameworks that equip people to govern, lead and deliver with the capability needed to perform.
