Energy

As the energy sector continues its rapid transformation, WT remains a trusted partner in delivering resilient, sustainable and commercially viable solutions that shape our energy future. 

The global energy sector is undergoing profound change, driven by the quest for secure, reliable, sustainable and affordable energy. Energy providers must balance the shift to renewables with maintaining grid stability, upgrading aging infrastructure and navigating fluctuating costs. Integrating emerging technologies, from battery storage to hydrogen production, adds further complexity to investment decisions and long-term financial planning. 

Rising capital costs, regulatory pressures and supply chain constraints are affecting the viability of projects in this sector. Large-scale renewable developments, grid expansions and energy storage solutions require significant investment, while fossil fuel projects must navigate market shifts and emissions reduction commitments. To achieve financial certainty while also meeting sustainability targets and consumer expectations, a strategic approach to cost and program management is vital. 

Achieving cost-effective project delivery 

WT provides the independent, expert advice that helps our energy sector clients navigate complex challenges and achieve financial clarity and project certainty. Our industry-leading cost management and quantity surveying services support our clients to optimise budgets, control capital and mitigate risk across all stages of energy infrastructure projects. 

During feasibility studies for new power generation projects – including solar, wind and pumped hydro – we provide cost clarity, ensuring robust financial projections and well-informed investment decisions. Our expertise extends through delivery, supporting clients with ongoing cost control, market adaptability and procurement strategies that address volatile material costs and supply chain risks. 

Providing end-to-end strategic support
