Our Approach

## Catalysing the energy transition

Pelergy is a specialist onshore and offshore wind energy business and innovation firm. We offer both advisory services and undertake development of our own products with partners.

Energy is becoming both green and blue, as we move offshore. Building new technologies in harsh environments requires an innovative approach to project development and operation - and that is what we specialise in. We innovate energy.

What We Offer

## Our Services

Pelergy embeds inside a product team to get a technology market-ready. We worked inside Offshore Transfer Devices to get their Tube Docking Device ready for serial production, and we partner with two more companies today on the same basis.

Pelergy opens conversations with the asset owners and prime contractors a supplier needs to reach, and shapes the bid strategy behind those conversations. The work ends in a pipeline built around named buyers, not a contact list.

[Learn more](/services/corporate-sales-and-bid-strategy)

Pelergy writes grant applications and R&D programme bids for technology companies. The team behind the writing also assesses applications for the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership and ORE Catapult funding rounds, so it knows what a reviewer scores.

Before an investor or acquirer commits, Pelergy runs the commercial due diligence: who buys, how much pricing pressure the market can take, and what a realistic route to revenue looks like. Pelergy has run buy-side diligence on a subsea services acquisition and a Baltic offshore portfolio deal.

Pelergy builds and maintains structured technology databases for a client's own strategic decisions, separate from Pelergy's public Wind Energy Technology Database. For one client Pelergy scouted the UAV, USV and UUV ecosystems end to end; the resulting database became the internal reference they still use years later.

Pelergy builds the market intelligence and project pipeline a developer needs to enter a new market, then prepares the technical and commercial due diligence behind non-binding offers. In the Baltics, that work built a 500 megawatt pipeline for one utility entering the region.

[Learn more](/services/market-entry-and-site-selection)

Pelergy builds supply chain databases from structured company data and web-scraped sourcing, with the metrics a developer or OEM needs to evaluate and engage suppliers, and takes a draft Supply Chain Development Statement through to a compliant, well-positioned CfD submission.

Pelergy delivers Innovate UK Business Connect's Innovation Exchange programme: a scoped challenge plus the technology scouting to match it, run end to end by Pelergy and free for the challenge holder. Any developer, operator, OEM or contractor with an unsolved offshore wind problem can host one.

[Learn more](/services/innovation-exchange)

Pelergy designs and runs innovation competitions and syndicated challenges, assesses grant applications for programme owners, and monitors funded R&D projects through to wrap-up. Pelergy assesses for the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership and for ORE Catapult funding rounds.

[Learn more](/services/innovation-programme-delivery)

Pelergy writes commissioned market reports on an offshore wind segment or technology: the size of the opportunity, who buys and who supplies it, and where the gaps sit for a new entrant.

[Learn more](/services/market-reviews-and-reporting)

Pelergy builds the market sizing and LCOE models that back an investment case or a grant application: the addressable market, the cost trajectory, and the assumptions behind both, stated so an investor or assessor can test them. A materials modelling service, scoring the cost and supply position of a specific component or material, is in development.
