Send us Fan Mail

Energy consulting is growing 11% this year – the fastest-growing sector in consulting.

AI data centers are eating power faster than the grid can supply, the energy transition is still underway, and nobody has a clean answer for how to do both at once.

3 insiders from MC's 2026 energy ranking join the show: Sean Jump (dss+), Charlie Sorensen (BearingPoint), and Michael Einstein (Simon-Kucher).

You'll learn:

• Why clients are asking for things now they weren't 2 years ago
• How energy firms price outcome-based work and where they draw the line
• What hyperscalers keep getting wrong about physical infrastructure
• The advice every new energy consultant actually needs to hear
