Energy and Environment Sector

Projects that come on stream and assets that deliver returns.

In the energy and environment sector, value is created at two key stages: when a project clears the regulatory hurdles and becomes operational, and when the asset delivers on its promise for decades to come. Whether you are a developer, an environmental services company or an infrastructure fund with assets in your portfolio, the gap between those two moments is bridged through effective management.

A good location or the right technology cannot compensate for a poorly managed regulatory process, a construction project with uncontrolled timelines, or an operation that underperforms relative to its projected curve.

EPUNTO Interim Management provides executives who have developed, built and operated assets in this sector. They take charge at the stage where the project has stalled – whether it be permits, construction, commissioning or operations – organise relations with the authorities and contractors, and put the project back on a predictable track.

Project development and delivery

Most cost overruns can be attributed to decisions taken before the first excavator arrives on site.

  • Permits and approvals: We manage relations with the authorities and the authorisation schedule, which is often the real critical path.

  • Construction management: We monitor the schedule, costs and contractors during execution, applying the contractual discipline necessary to prevent subsequent claims.

  • Commissioning: We oversee the start-up and testing phases until the asset achieves the committed performance levels, not merely until it begins supplying energy.

We have a project that has stalled in the approval process and is falling behind schedule.
This is the most common scenario. We bring in a project manager who liaises with the authorities and contractors, reassesses the critical path and provides clarity on the actual start date.
We are a fund with operating assets that are underperforming.
An interim manager with experience in O&M reviews operations, the operator’s supervision and maintenance contracts. The shortcoming usually lies in management, not in the technology, and becomes apparent within the first few weeks of analysis.
We need the address of a treatment plant or an environmental service.
Yes, that is part of the scope. We provide managers with experience in plant operations and service contracts, both with private clients and public authorities, including the management of environmental requirements.
Do you also cover commissioning, not just construction?
Yes, and it’s best not to separate them. The start-up phase is when design and contractual issues come to light. Our interim team remains in place until the asset achieves the agreed performance and operations are stable.
How does it differ from an engineering firm or a consultancy in the sector?
The engineering firm provides the technical design and the consultancy firm carries out the analysis. Our interim manager takes charge: they make decisions, negotiate with contractors and the administration, manage the team and are responsible for the timeframe, costs and final outcome.
