Strategic advisory
Commercial diplomacy and senior government engagement. We open doors at the highest levels, navigate geopolitical complexity, and align each project with the strategic interests of the host nation and the United States.
Global energy security advisory
Developing the power that keeps nations independent.
Energy Security Company structures, finances, and delivers modern power infrastructure in the markets where energy supply is a question of sovereignty — reducing dependence on adversarial suppliers and strengthening the partnerships that keep allies secure.
The premise
A nation’s security increasingly rests on the security of its power supply.
Across emerging markets, ageing grids, single-supplier dependence, and the shift to intermittent renewables have turned electricity into a strategic vulnerability. The countries facing that vulnerability need partners who can move capital, navigate governments, and build.
ENSEC was created to do all three under one roof — combining financial structuring, strategic counsel, and on-the-ground delivery to bring reliable, independent energy to the places where it matters most.
What we do
Advisory, capital, and delivery — integrated.
Most firms do one of these. We connect all three, so a strategic objective becomes a financed project and a financed project becomes operating power.
Financial structuring
Project finance built to close. We design public-private partnerships and special-purpose vehicles and arrange development and export financing — including facilities backed by EXIM, the DFC, and multilateral lenders.
Project development
Turnkey power, end to end. From feasibility and engineering to equipment, construction, and long-term operations — modern distributed and flexible gas-fired generation that firms renewables and keeps the lights on.
The model
One team, from first conversation to operating asset.
A single accountable partner across the full project lifecycle — the reason mandates move from idea to energized in markets where most stall.
01
Feasibility & strategy
Market, offtake, and political analysis. We confirm the case before capital is committed.
02
Structuring & financing
PPP and SPV design, sponsor equity, and development-finance arrangement.
03
Engineering & procurement
Plant design and proven equipment, specified for reliability and U.S. content.
04
Construction & delivery
EPC execution managed to schedule, budget, and grid-connection milestones.
05
Operations & maintenance
Long-term O&M that protects performance and the lifetime value of the asset.
Where we work
Focused where energy access is a strategic question.
We concentrate on markets that are diversifying away from adversarial suppliers, modernizing ageing infrastructure, and where trusted American leadership is decisive. Initial mandates center on Central & Eastern Europe and the Balkans, with a developing pipeline across emerging markets.
Regional focus reflects active and developing engagements.
Specific mandates available under confidentiality.
