About WSS Energy Consulting

WSS Energy Consulting was founded in 2015, and since then has grown through delivering consulting projects to our clients in the UK, North & South America, Japan and Europe. We focus on the energy sector, including Oil & Gas upstream, renewable energy generation, low carbon mobility, hydrogen & fuel cells, CCUS, etc. for clients who are developing decarbonisation and energy transition strategies. Our clients include energy operators, government agencies, investors and supply chain companies. 

​

Common strands in our projects are the impact of new technology and how energy technology can be commercialised. Apart from energy technology, our clients want to know how to access new markets, develop existing markets and to make sense of macro-level change in energy supply, demand and use. Our clients use us when they are facing uncertain challenges and require evidence-based recommendations for operational or strategic change.

​

WSS Energy’s main office is in Woking. Our project work is mainly delivered from our office or from home, with the balance being delivered on client sites in the UK or internationally.
