What Our Clients Say
Yuvan Naidoo
- Oceana Group Limited
- Group Procurement
We engaged the services of the energy division of Bridge Capital Advisors (now
known as Dot Energy) in June 2021 to assist us in evaluating various alternative
energy opportunities in line with our corporate strategic intent and commitment
to carbon neutrality.
They formulated and ran a workshop for our team to assist in developing a
strategic framework for the project which led to the development of a series of
comprehensive technoeconomic models ultimately enabling us to select the
appropriate choice for our business from among the large range of possibilities.
Over the 18 month duration of the project, we found the team to be highly
competent, accommodating in their approach, meticulous, and embracing cross-
functional collaboration within a complex corporate structure. Above all, they
were able to “fit in” with our corporate culture, and meaningfully contribute to
the strategic ESG project we evaluated.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this team to advise on energy
techno-economic strategy.
