Meridian is a climate and energy strategy advisory firm. We work with private firms, government and public interest organisations to develop solutions across the energy transition landscape.

Meridian Economics offers energy and decarbonisation advisory services to help South African business navigate the transformative shift to cleaner, decentralised energy systems amidst the energy insecurity and high-carbon intensity of the current national energy supply.

Leveraging our in-depth knowledge of the national energy system and using proprietary simulation tools, we develop and analyse realistic scenarios to explore the risks and opportunities involved in crafting an energy strategy in the context of disruptive changes in South Africa’s energy sector.

As independent advisors, we are not aligned to any one solution supplier. We provide customers with a thinking partner on their decarbonisation journey.

We offer service expertise in these areas
