Overview

The utilities sector is at the forefront of the global energy transition. From grid-scale renewables to energy storage and green hydrogen integration, staying ahead demands more than ambition – it requires intelligence.

At CRU, we support utilities with the data and insights needed to make informed decisions across generation, transmission and distribution. Whether you are planning capital investment, navigating policy shifts, or assessing technology pathways, our clean energy and clean tech intelligence empowers progress at every step, driving measurable utilities decarbonisation impact.

 

Supporting Utilities with the Intelligence to Decarbonise and Deliver

  • Independent insights: No vested interests – just trusted analysis you can rely on.
  • Technology cost expertise: From LCOE to hydrogen, ammonia and solar costs, we quantify the future clean energy.
  • Policy and scenario clarity: Explore emission pathways and regulatory impacts through robust modelling to strengthen your utilities decarbonisation impact.
  • Cross-commodity perspective: Understand how metals, renewables and fuels interact across your clean energy portfolio.
