This book provides a structured, system-level framework for understanding and crafting energy strategies. It connects changes in the energy system with market economics, value chains, business models, strategic choices, and operating models. The book explores how energy systems evolve across fuels and geographies, how technology, investment, and regulation shape that evolution, and how companies create and capture value along the energy value chain. Its strategy formulation framework links companies’ ambitions and assets to choices about where to compete, how to establish an advantage, and which strategic moves to pursue. It also examines how these choices translate into operating models. Concepts are presented at a high level, allowing readers to see the big picture while retaining analytical clarity.

The perspective of the book reflects a mix of industry experience, management and strategy work, and consulting practice. It is written primarily for professionals making strategic decisions in energy businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises and mid-market companies. It is also relevant to management consultants, policymakers, sustainability and transition specialists, investors, and advanced students who need a coherent framework to interpret energy-related developments and support strategic decision-making.
