In order to compensate for the future loss of electricity from conventional generation, a massive expansion of renewable energies is essential. There is no doubt that renewable energies are the future! Wind, sun, biomass, and water are the key drivers of the supply of green electrons.

The experts at Drees & Sommer support clients in the strategic development of complex energy projects and programs. We support clients from the initial potential analysis to the operational implementation and commissioning of plants. 

Alongside the further expansion of renewable energies and accelerated grid expansion, the entry into the hydrogen economy is also coming into focus. Drees & Sommer supports projects along the entire value chain from production, transport, storage, and utilization of green hydrogen. Our expertise includes structural-technical and infrastructure consulting as well as providing planning services and broad support in realization through to commissioning. 

The energy transition presents the industry with the challenge of creating new storage capacities. Only in this way can the supply of renewable energies meet the demand for grid-stabilizing flexibility and system services.  

The key role of battery storage in the future energy system arises from the batteries’ ability to enable the spatial and temporal coordination of energy supply and demand. 

We support clients from the initial potential analysis and conception through to the operational implementation and commissioning of BESS (battery energy storage systems) facilities. 

In the course of the energy transition, existing nuclear and coal power plants are gradually being decommissioned and dismantled. In addition to the challenges that this complex and often lengthy work entails, the question arises of what should happen to the buildings and sites afterwards. One possibility could be a fuel switch to a sustainable and green energy carrier. Expert teams from Drees & Sommer support operators on this path.

New construction projects in the energy sector place high demands on all involved. Especially when it comes to grid expansion, which are complex projects with long durations and scarce resources. The organization on the part of the builders is also very much in demand. Drees & Sommer supports clients at critical points with experience, methodological competence, personnel capacities, and digital tools.
