consulting partners for the supply industry

msg advisors – consulting partners for the supply industry

Renewable energies, innovative technologies, new competition and business models are changing the industrial and process landscape for supply companies.Through the implementation of digital solutions, the msg advisors can support you in realising new service offerings, improving the customer experience and thus better tackling the challenges within the market. 

We are happy to support you with our expertise in the following focus topics in particular:

Generation
  • In order to take into account the dynamic nature of power supply and demand in times in which power generation plants are increasingly decentralised, the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) concept fulfils a higher-level operations management role.Make use of our expertise in the development and optimisation of virtual power plants (VPP) for decentralised generation facilities.
  • In the case of renewable energies in particular, digitisation plays a central role, including in the further development of operational maintenance and repair processes - key term: "Predictive Maintenance" - and remote control. We can show you which technological and process-based success factors play a role in these matters.
  • Hedges are used to safeguard businesses against price risks within the energy market, whether with regard to long-term marketing or within the CO2 sector. We advise you regarding the optimal design of your hedging strategy, in order to compensate for the risk of transactions vis-à-vis volatilities and market risks, through suitable hedging activities.
Trading
  • What are the important factors in the positioning of renewable energy plants on the power exchange? We support you during the optimisation of your direct marketing concept. 
  • We design and/or develop your portfolio and risk management for primary energy sources such as electricity, gas, coal and CO2 and work alongside you to implement suitable hedging strategies. 
  • In Germany, green electricity products are required to provide proof of origin (Herkunftsnachweise, HKN), certifying that the supplied electricity actually originates from renewable energy sources. Regardless of actual power trading, proofs of original are traded across Europe. We support you in the marketing of your proofs of origin for green energy or biogas.
  • After the 20-year fixed tariff period under the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG), the operators or existing plant facilities must make fundamental decisions as to what should happen to their old plants in the post-EEG era.We can advise you on the optimisation and sales-related implementation of post-EEG products such as long-term PPAs ("Power Purchase Agreements").
  • Do you require support in the area of "ETRM (Energy Trading and Risk-​Management)"? We can advise you on the selection, tendering and introduction of an appropriate system, incl. service provider management. 
Distribution
  • The grid connection process performed by the grid operator spans the most diverse of departments and systems and requires a high level of work-sharing and management. We would be happy to advise you as to how you can improve the operational grid process through digitisation - in particular in the cases of new connection, grid and plant engineering, fault management, maintenance & repair and classic metrology. 
  • We support you in the development and execution of the benchmarking of operational grid processes within transfer and distribution grids.
  • Would you like to establish in-feed portal solutions, new connection or service partner company portals? With our consultation team, you can digitise the necessary grid connection consumer and customer processes. 
  • e-Mobility is among the most important future topics for energy service providers.We work with you to develop an integrated e-Mobility strategy - from technologies to charging solutions and stakeholder management. 
  • In conjunction with customer Internet of things (IoT) applications, telecommunications solutions are conquering the utilities market, as an instrument of digitisation. We advise you in the development of application scenarios for grid operators, for example with regard to LoRaWAN, 450 MHz mobile communication and PLC.
Smart meter
  • Do you want to optimise your smart meter and gateway administration processes?We can show you the steps that are critical to success, for instance in the use of workforce management systems for installation, or during a change of iMSys. 
  • We also offer support for roll-out projects or the use of intelligent electronic meter systems (smart meters).Here we are also happy to advise you on the use and development of meter communication technologies (SMGW, Smart Meter Gateway), for secure data transfer within the intelligent metering system.
Sales & customer service
  • Shared Services find themselves in the field of tension between faster implementation, more suitable solutions and economic efficiency. We support you in the optimisation of the time, costs and quality of your shared service and advise you with regard to an appropriate IT strategy, as well as with the selection of a system for internal and external customers. 
  • In order to overcome the challenges posed by digitisation, with its increasing data volumes, Shared Service Centres now serve as digital support platforms.We are by your side throughout the digital transformation of your shared services business processes.
Smart city & mobility
  • Without a sophisticated strategy, Smart City and mobility projects will not be successful.We support you in the development of this strategy and the evaluation of Smart City application cases. 
  • Smart City service providers must anticipate the future requirements of citizens and should be capable of integrating innovations.We advise you regarding the design of your innovation management, particularly in the areas of mobility and area-wide solutions. 
  • Technologies such as the Internet, mobile technology, IoT, Big Data and AI form the basis for the development of Smart Cities.We can help you when selecting technologies and can assist you with the setting up of innovative Smart City platforms. 
  • Innovative communication technologies for the integration of Smart City sensors and actuators are the key to realising the potential of IoT applications within the Smart City environment.We can show you which technologies are relevant to your business and advise you during their selection and implementation.
