About us

Aurora Energy Research is a dynamic and fast-growing energy analytics company. We provide research, consulting, and data-driven analytics on European and global energy markets that helps our clients navigate the global energy transformation.

Aurora was founded in 2013 by a group of University of Oxford academics on the premise that technological progress, and policies tackling climate change, render energy markets increasingly complex - but that this complexity yields to rigorous, sophisticated analysis and modelling.

Aurora is now a thriving, rapidly-growing company of over 130 staff with offices in Oxford, Berlin and Sydney. Demand for our services - spanning subscription research and consultancy - is immense, in the UK and abroad. We currently serve over 200 of Europe's most influential energy sector participants, and we expect to grow beyond 150 staff over the next 12 months.
