Regulatory Intelligence for Energy Consultancies

The challenge

Every client is a different regulatory puzzle

Your team advises across suppliers, networks, generators, flexibility providers, and the rest - each with different licence conditions, code obligations, and regulatory exposure. Staying across Ofgem, DESNZ, Elexon, and a dozen other bodies for every client caps how many portfolios your team can manage - and the research grunt work leaves less time for the strategic advisory your clients actually pay for.

Same regulation, different implications

An Ofgem consultation affects a domestic supplier differently to an industrial one. Your team has to interpret every development through the lens of each client's specific business.

Monitoring multiplied by client count

Ofgem, DESNZ, Elexon, REC, DCUSA, BSC - monitoring these once is manageable. Doing it for eight clients with different exposures is not.

Client context lives in people's heads

When a senior consultant is unavailable, their client knowledge goes with them. There's no persistent system that remembers each client's regulatory landscape.

First-mover advantage matters

The consultancy that alerts a client to a relevant regulatory change first wins trust. Finding out after your competitor already briefed the client is a missed opportunity.

Research bottlenecks limit how many clients you can serve

Every new client adds monitoring load, reading time, and context-switching. There's a ceiling on how many portfolios your team can manage well - and hiring more analysts is expensive.

New joiners take months to ramp up

Junior consultants need deep context on each client's regulatory position before they can contribute meaningfully. That knowledge transfer is slow and expensive.

How it helps

Regulatory intelligence that works across your client portfolio

Client-contextualised research

Frame your questions around a specific client's licence type, customer segments, and regulatory exposure, and Policy Compass tailors every answer to their situation. Dedicated per-client profiles are on the roadmap - for now, the context you provide in your question drives the contextualisation.

Portfolio-wide monitoring

Policy Radar monitors Ofgem, DESNZ, Elexon, REC, and more - flagging new publications and consultations daily. You assess relevance to each client based on your knowledge of their business.

Client-ready deliverables

Export audit-ready PDFs with full citation trails, structured for client briefings. When your client's board asks for a regulatory impact summary, you have it documented and sourced.

First-mover alerts

When a new consultation or code modification lands, Radar flags it the same day. You can quickly assess which clients are affected and brief them before they've even seen it.

In practice

Questions Policy Compass is built to answer for energy consultancies

"How does the latest Ofgem price cap methodology change affect our domestic supply client's standing charge calculation?"

"Which of our network operator clients are affected by the proposed DCUSA DCP404 modification?"

"Summarise the MHHS M5 milestone obligations for our SME supplier client and flag any upcoming deadlines"

"What are the key differences in how BSC P462 impacts our two supplier clients - one domestic-only, one I&C?"

"Draft a structured briefing on the latest RIIO-3 framework consultation for our DNO client"

Frame your question around a specific client's context and Policy Compass tailors the answer accordingly - same regulation, different interpretation per client.

The difference

Take on more clients without hiring more consultants

Policy Compass handles the research and monitoring grunt work - the reading, cross-referencing, and deadline tracking that fills your team's days. That capacity goes back to what clients actually pay for: interpretation, strategy, and actionable recommendations. Serve more clients with the same team, go deeper on strategic advisory, and win fixed-price work more profitably. Dedicated per-client profiles are coming soon to make portfolio management even faster.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Policy Compass for different clients?

Yes. Right now, you frame your questions around a specific client's context - their licence type, customer segments, market position - and Policy Compass tailors every answer to their situation. We're building dedicated per-client profiles so you can save each client's context and switch between them, but that's not live yet. Get in touch if you'd like to help shape how that feature works.

Which regulatory bodies does it monitor?

Policy Compass monitors Ofgem, DESNZ, Elexon, the Retail Energy Code (REC), DCUSA, BSC, and more. The bodies monitored are mapped to your business profile and can be adjusted manually.

How does pricing work for consultancies with multiple clients?

We're still finalising multi-profile pricing for consultancies. If you're managing multiple client profiles, get in touch and we'll work out something that fits your portfolio.

Can multiple consultants access the same client profile?

We're building team access features based on what our design partners need - shared research history, multiple seats per profile, and role-based access. If your team needs shared access, get in touch and we'll work with you on it.

Can I export research as client deliverables?

Yes. Policy Compass generates audit-ready PDF exports with full citation trails - every answer links back to its source publications. You can export regulatory briefings, deadline summaries, and impact assessments formatted for client presentation. See pricing and features.

Should we verify Policy Compass outputs before sending to clients?

Yes - always. Policy Compass is an AI-powered research tool that accelerates your work, but it can make mistakes. Every answer includes source citations so your consultants can verify claims against the original documents before including them in client deliverables. Your professional judgement remains essential - Policy Compass handles the research legwork, not the advisory opinion.
