What we do

We are usually engaged when a market is changing, an investment decision is difficult, or policy, technical and commercial considerations must be resolved together.

STRATEGY AND POLICY
Board and business strategy, policy development and market reform where public-policy objectives and commercial reality must align.

INVESTMENT, COMMERCIAL AND TRANSACTION DUE DILIGENCE
Commercial and financial analysis, investment cases and transaction advice for energy, environmental-market and technology opportunities, including the commercialisation of new products and platforms.

MARKET DESIGN AND REGULATORY ANALYSIS
Market rules and regulatory advice across electricity, carbon, biodiversity and natural capital. Electricity work includes prudential and settlement arrangements, renewable integration, dispatch and system reform.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS, MODELLING AND RESEARCH
Business cases, cost-benefit analysis, economic and financial modelling, non-market valuation and defensible research for boards, investors and government.

IMPLEMENTATION, INTERIM EXECUTIVE AND BOARD ADVISORY
Practical support to turn decisions into operating models, implementation plans, governance arrangements and accountable delivery.

The output may be a clear decision, an investment case, a market rule, a model, an implementation plan or a defensible export report. 

Aton is led by Dr Karl Nolles and specialist collaborators from our long term network are engaged where an assignment requires additional technical, legal, economic or sector expertise.

We do not waffle. We produce well-researched, specific advice that can be acted upon.
