Energy is an important part of the infrastructure in industrialized countries, and many people and organizations are dependent on and influenced by energy supply structures. COWI is an active player concerning development of the energy sector, that needs to meet future demands for financial and environmental sustainability.
Both the development objectives of the energy sector and the framework in which the objectives are to be achieved are changing over time. We offer a broad range of energy planning services that help our clients recognize and follow-up changes and limit risks of unacceptable consequences, while both long-term perspectives and short-term facts are taken into consideration.
The services offered by COWI typically include evaluation of existing and future energy demand and technical and economic analyses of energy systems. This may have to do with individual buildings, industries, local district heating systems, and energy supply systems at national and international level. On the basis of these analyses strategies and practical solutions for the improvement and development of energy systems are prepared and implemented in close co-operation with our clients. Energy planning creates knowledge, order and transparency. Thus it helps decision makers (both politicians and enterprises) influence development and document their decisions. This, in turn, creates reliability between decision makers, citizens and energy consumers.
