Navigating the energy transition

INVERTO helps energy companies navigate the balance of securing resilient energy supply with the need for decarbonization by strategically transforming procurement. Our expertise optimizes investment outcomes, builds resilient supply chains, and integrates sustainability into energy strategies. Let us show you how smarter procurement can play a critical role in driving the success of the global energy transition.

Procurement makes it happen

Investment cost optimization

The path to net-zero is complex and time-critical. Supply chains are changing, and procurement excellence is essential to secure optimal outcomes from the huge capital investments required.

Risk assessment & supply chain resilience

The energy transition can be delivered only if the risks associated with supply chain disruptions and volatile energy markets are anticipated and effectively managed.

Capability development

Specialized skills are essential for navigating the path to net-zero. Building procurement and supply chain capabilities across new technology landscapes drives value and sustainable change for our future energy landscape.

The mindset shift and future fit procurement practices

Procurement is a strategic function that must be integrated during the earliest stages of capital project planning. It ensures efficiency and resilience within the supply chain, maximizing the potential for project deliverability success by being your organization’s direct interface with the supply market. By adopting a proactive, strategic approach to supply chains, building long-term partnerships with suppliers, and prioritizing transparency in supplier and market developments, organizations can foster innovation, achieve cost efficiencies, and ensure a more agile and sustainable response to changing market demands that impact their CAPEX portfolio.

The energy industry’s key challenges

Hydrocarbon extraction & refining

The hydrocarbon sector is under pressure to adapt to rapidly changing demands, increasing regulatory pressures, and evolving energy standards. Companies face the complex task of maintaining traditional energy production while preparing for future needs — balancing operational flexibility with compliance and environmental requirements. Aging infrastructure, from pipelines to refineries, presents additional financial and logistical hurdles. Strategic procurement supports these efforts by sourcing innovative solutions, managing specialized suppliers, and ensuring compliance with evolving standards, helping companies stay resilient and prepared for the future.

Renewables

As the renewables sector rapidly expands to meet global decarbonization goals, it faces significant challenges in maintaining reliable energy flow and economic stability. Intermittent power generation from sources like wind and solar requires advanced storage and grid solutions, while reliable backup sources, such as hydropower or natural gas, are needed to fill gaps during low-output periods. Additionally, evolving policy frameworks and regulatory changes add complexity, influencing project timelines and costs. Strategic procurement supports this balance by securing scalable storage solutions, establishing reliable supplier partnerships, and navigating compliance requirements to keep renewable projects resilient and adaptable.

Energy networks and transition

As renewable energy sources grow and demand for electric vehicles (EVs) rises, transmission and distribution networks are under mounting pressure to expand and modernize. Grid operators must integrate renewable energy and decentralized sources, which requires advanced balancing mechanisms to maintain stability across the grid. Additionally, rapid advancements in grid automation and energy storage introduce supply chain complexities, as many new technologies lack full industrial scalability. Strategic procurement plays a vital role in sourcing smart grid solutions, securing reliable control systems, and managing supply chain risks to ensure that grid infrastructure upgrades are both resilient and adaptable to future demands.
