Six of the Main Ways Acacia Works With Clients

Clean energy & climate policy strategy

We support the design, testing and refinement of policy and regulatory reforms across electricity markets, planning and approvals, transmission, industrial decarbonisation and climate targets.

Typical engagements include:

    • Policy and regulatory reviews with clear reform options
    • Investor‑focused analysis of proposed government reforms
    • Submissions, discussion papers and consultation responses
    • Target and pathway design (e.g. renewables, emissions, industrial transition)

Investor centred advisory

Having worked closely with institutional investors, developers and financiers, we help clients understand how policy settings translate into cost of capital, risk allocation and investment outcomes.

This includes:

  • Investor sentiment and risk diagnostics
  • Translating policy impacts into investment‑relevant language
  • Supporting industry bodies and coalitions to articulate a credible “voice of capital”

Targeted research & thought leadership

We deliver concise, high‑impact research designed to inform decisions, not sit on shelves.

Outputs often include:

  • Short, decision‑focused reports
  • Options papers and implementation roadmaps
  • Briefings for executives, boards and policymakers

Strategy, facilitation & coalition building

Many of the hardest problems in the energy transition are coordination problems. Acacia designs and facilitates processes that bring government, industry, investors and civil society together around shared solutions.

Services include:

  • Multi-stakeholder workshops and roundtables
  • Strategy development for advocacy or reform programs
  • Trusted-advisor support to senior leaders and boards

Business development & partnership strategy

We support organisations operating in the clean energy and climate space to identify, shape and secure growth opportunities, particularly where success depends on policy alignment, partnerships or mission credibility.

This includes:

  • Business development strategy for clean energy, climate and infrastructure organisations
  • Identifying and prioritising government, investor and philanthropic opportunities
  • Shaping value propositions and narratives that resonate with decision‑makers
  • Supporting partnership development, consortium formation and strategic alliances
  • Targeted engagement strategies for senior stakeholders

Senior advisory & decision support

We provide discreet, senior-level advisory support to executives, boards and principals navigating complex, high-stakes decisions in the energy transition.

This includes:

  • Trusted-advisor support during critical policy, funding or strategic moments
  • Sense-checking options, risks and positioning before major decisions or public engagement
  • Clear, confidential advice grounded in policy, capital and political reality
