What AMPERES does

AMPERES is an Australian professional services consultancy providing strategy, planning, and analysis services for a just energy transition. Founded in 2015 by Tarek Ketelsen and headquartered in Melbourne, the firm advises three core customer segments: governments and public sector bodies (e.g., DFAT, UNOPS-ETP, UK Aid-funded programs), communities (including Indigenous organisations such as Djarindjin Aboriginal Corporation), and private sector clients seeking decarbonisation advisory (e.g., emissions hotspot analysis, feasibility studies, ESG reporting).

The firm's core offerings span two capability areas: Energy Transition services (science-to-policy advisory, power systems analysis, multi-stakeholder dialogues, water-energy-climate nexus work) and Delivering Decarbonisation services (carbon footprint reduction, cost-benefit analysis, implementation roadmaps, techno-economic feasibility). Underlying technology assets include data-driven tools such as CORE-KIT — a Community Renewable Energy Knowledge Integration Tool developed with Aalto University and REAM to map mini-grid potential across Myanmar — alongside power systems modelling capabilities led by senior specialists such as Dr. Tran Huynh Ngoc (PhD, University of Tokyo). A research programme reinvests 10% of annual profits into proprietary knowledge generation.

AMPERES operates a project-based consulting revenue model: clients submit tenders to [email protected] and engagements are delivered by expert teams across 16 offices spanning Australia, South Asia (India), Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Vietnam), and New Zealand. Since 2025 the firm has operated as part of the Alluvium Group, a five-entity collective that brings together biophysical, social, and economic disciplines. Marketing is executed through thought leadership content, an insights blog, monthly newsletters, and facilitation of high-level industry dialogues such as the Mekong-Australia Energy Dialogues and Southeast Asia Energy Transition Partnership Roundtables.
