Lightning Consulting Services offers experience and insight to navigate complex energy and climate change challenges. Our business is built on 30 years experience in the energy sector and a specific focus on climate change business impacts since 1998. We enjoy longstanding and diverse relationships across industry, government and the community – both in Australia and internationally. The diverse client base is reflective of the broad perspective we offer. We are commercially pragmatic work to find real solutions to complex issues. Respect, integrity and credibility are cornerstone values driving our success.

Our passion is to work with clients to create a strategic vision and develop concrete actions to meet the challenges of global energy demand, technology development, climate change impacts and sustainable resource management.

We differentiate ourselves in these 5 important ways:

• In-depth understanding of energy markets and energy technologies based on 30 years experience – from hands-on R&D, through conventional energy sources and energy transformation to assessing opportunities for breakthrough low emission technologies.
• Strategic clarity to navigate the complex world of climate change policy and regulations – with 14 years embedded in the Australian debate on how to transition to a lower emissions economy whilst maintaining strong economic growth.
• International insights into carbon markets and greenhouse gas mitigation options – developed through participation in 10 United Nations climate change conferences since 2000, regularly contributing to international dialogues, consulting to global businesses and working with professional colleagues in multiple jurisdictions.
• Problem solving to add value to clients through efficient and effective identification of the core issues and the use of scenario planning to assess the range of uncertain factors in a changing economic and environmentally conscious world.
• Joining the dots through extensive networks across industry, government and the community to generate ideas and provide comprehensive and innovative solutions.

Lightning Consulting Services provides high calibre, experienced consultants to work with our clients in a flexible and sustainable manner to achieve desired goals.
