  • Restructuring of existing generation portfolios
  • Marketing of existing thermal power plants abroad (30–300 MWe)
  • Support in oil and gas exploration and production, and the evaluation of new ventures related to it
  • Detailed economic analysis and market-oriented operation of renewable energy and combined heat and power plants
