Identity & Mission

Adviesbureau voor Energiestrategie (AES) is an independent consulting office founded in 1991 by Dipl.-Ing. Wolfgang F. Lutz, an energy expert, who has been working in this field since 1980.

AES specialises in strategic advice, know-how transfer and research in the energy field, covering areas like: energy technology, economy, finance and policy. Specific emphasis is given to the implication of energy policies and systems on the social and environmental sustainable development world-wide. AES strives after applying an integral focus on energy and development.

Since its foundation, AES has acquired considerable experience in both Europe and newly industrialising economies - in particular in Latin America and Asia - and in centrally planned economies in transition. AES has carried out projects on behalf of international organisations, government offices, universities and private companies.

Besides its founder and owner, who is also the managing director of AES, a team of free-lance experts and professionals contribute to the project-related and general activities of AES. Collaborating experts and professionals are selected according to the high standards set by the office, which include: personal integrity, dedication, professionalism and intellectual independence. They represent a wide range of experience, including various disciplines of engineering, energy economics, political and social sciences, public administration and management.

The activities pursued by AES can be summarised under one motto:

Energy Strategies for Sustainable Development

'Energy-Strategies' refers to the need to address energy and energy-related social and environmental problems in a strategic way, focussing on the pragmatic aim to achieve tangible results, while 'Sustainable Development' is understood as the major challenge of today, which asks for unbiased, objective and purposeful professional work. The 'triangle': AES, ESENERG and En.stra.d endeavours to respond to this challenge.
