Broad incumbents

• AFRY (formerly Pöyry): Nordic-headquartered engineering and consulting firm with a large European energy advisory practice. Competes with r2b for power market, renewable, and hydrogen strategy engagements, but at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Wood Mackenzie: Global energy research and consultancy with deep coverage of European power markets, renewables, and hydrogen. Comparable to r2b in power market forecasting (e.g., Power Market Outlook) and asset valuation, but at a much larger institutional scale.
• McKinsey (Energy Practice): Global management consulting firm with a sizable energy practice advising utilities, ministries, and industrial clients on energy transition. A broader incumbent competitor for r2b's strategy consulting engagements, though typically at a much higher price point and scale.
• DNV (Energy Systems Advisory): Global assurance and energy advisory firm serving utilities, developers, and regulators on energy transition, renewables, and grid topics. Overlaps with r2b's decarbonization, hydrogen, and grid-related consulting work, but with far larger delivery capacity.
• Fraunhofer ISI / Fraunhofer IEE: Large German applied research institutes covering energy system analysis, renewable integration, and policy impact. A broader incumbent alternative to r2b for public clients seeking deeper R&D and scenario modeling.

Direct peers

• Frontier Economics: European economics consultancy with a strong energy practice covering market design, regulation, and asset valuation. Comparable to r2b on quantitative policy impact assessment and energy economics advisory for utilities and regulators.
• E-Bridge Consulting: Bonn-based European energy consulting firm focused on power markets, grid integration, and regulatory design. Overlaps directly with r2b's energy policy and quantitative market analysis offerings for utilities, TSOs, and regulators.
• Öko-Institut: German applied research institute working on energy and climate policy, decarbonization, and renewable deployment scenarios. Overlaps with r2b's public-sector energy policy consulting and quantitative scenario work for ministries and associations.
• Consentec: Aachen-based energy economics and regulation consultancy serving German and European utilities, grid operators, and policymakers. Highly comparable to r2b on regulatory impact assessment, market design, and asset valuation work.
• Energy Brainpool: Berlin-based energy market analytics and consulting firm with proprietary European power market models. Closely comparable to r2b in size, geography, and model-driven approach to power price forecasting and energy transition advisory.
