Strategic Advisory for Energy, Governance and Institutional Readiness
Independent senior advisory supporting energy and clean-technology initiatives in complex regulatory and EU institutional environments.
Horizon² provides strategic consulting to energy-related projects, investors and project sponsors navigating regulatory, governance and institutional complexity across Europe and neighbouring regions.
About Horizon²
Horizon² is an independent advisory platform focused on strategic positioning, governance readiness and institutional interface for energy and clean-technology initiatives.
We support projects at critical early and transitional stages, where technical merit alone is insufficient and institutional, regulatory and political considerations become decisive.
Our work is discreet, senior-level and tailored to each project's specific context.
Why Institutional Readiness Matters
Many energy and clean-technology projects fail not because of technology, but because they enter institutional and regulatory environments unprepared.
Common failure points include unclear ownership and influence structures, blurred boundaries between R&D and deployment, legacy arrangements incompatible with EU expectations, and premature engagement with institutions.
Horizon² addresses these gaps before they become structural blockers.
Working Principles
What We Do
We provide strategic advisory services focused on energy-related initiatives where governance, compliance and institutional acceptance are critical.
Energy Project Positioning & Structuring
We support project sponsors in defining clear and defensible project positioning from an institutional and regulatory perspective.
This includes clarifying project scope, distinguishing between R&D, pilot and deployment phases, mapping institutional relevance, and avoiding category mismatches that create regulatory or political risk.
Compliance & Governance Readiness
We prepare projects for external scrutiny by identifying governance and compliance gaps before formal engagement with institutions, investors or advisors.
Our work covers ownership and control mapping, governance structure review, identification of red-flag issues, and preparation of internal compliance narratives suitable for EU-level contexts.
EU Institutional & Policy Interface
We advise on how and when to approach European institutions, and how to align project logic with institutional expectations.
This includes orientation between relevant EU Directorates, engagement sequencing, preparation of institution-ready positioning notes, and sensitivity to political and reputational considerations. We do not act as lobbyists.
Cross-Border & Transitional Advisory
Many energy initiatives operate across EU and non-EU environments or carry legacy structures incompatible with current regulatory frameworks.
We support projects in designing EU-compatible structures, separating legacy elements from forward-looking initiatives, and managing complex internal transitions.
Typical Engagements
Engagements are typically exploratory, time-bounded and focused on clarity and sequencing.
- Projects facing institutional or regulatory uncertainty
- Energy initiatives preparing for EU engagement or financing
- Sponsors dealing with governance or ownership complexity
- Cross-border projects requiring EU-compatible restructuring
- Early-stage initiatives needing independent strategic assessment
