About The Energy Grid
Good strategy has to work in the real world.
Market-based solutions are essential to tackling climate change. What’s good for the environment should also be good for business.
The perspective
Commercial judgement, informed by delivery.
The Energy Grid works at the intersection of energy, transport, technology and decarbonisation. It helps clients assess opportunities, challenge assumptions and make decisions that stand up commercially and operationally.
The work draws on experience in energy management and flexibility at EDF, EU-wide EV charging strategy at Amazon, and large-scale bus electrification at First Bus. As Decarbonisation Programme Director, Faizan Ahmad led a programme that brought more than 1,000 zero-emission buses into service alongside supporting infrastructure.
That experience spans executive decision-making, government engagement and investor briefings, as well as the practical challenges faced by engineers and operations teams. The approach is straightforward: ask the right questions, test assumptions and understand what it will take to deliver.
