About the Center of System and Energy Studies

The change in the business environment in the electricity industry and the emergence of a competitive electricity market have opened a new horizon of "engineering consulting" activities in the electricity industry, the nature of which is very different from the previous "engineering consulting" activities. Therefore, the success of consulting engineering companies in the new space does not necessarily result from their track records and capabilities in previous projects in the electricity industry; Rather, requires understanding the upcoming developments and laying the groundwork and preparing the appropriate and necessary level of technical and organizational maturity for entry and success in the new business environment.

The new business environment in the electricity industry includes areas such as designing various national and transnational electricity markets & energy exchanges, connecting neighboring networks for the purpose of exporting and importing power, developing laws and regulations in the electricity market, conducting economic and strategic studies for investors in the electricity market, conducting development planning taking into account the privatized environment and the presence of new technologies, conducting technical studies of grid connection for private power plants, etc.
