Aurora Energy Research is a consulting company that provides data and analysis on British, German, European and global energy markets. Unquestionably independent, our analysis is designed to inform critical decisions of our clients, which include many of Europe’s major energy market participants.
Aurora was founded in 2013 by five University of Oxford Professors, who have decades of experience at the highest levels of academia and energy policy. It is now a thriving, rapidly growing company of 50 staff. Next to the company`s headquarter in Oxford, Aurora opened its first international office in Berlin in 2016. In the next years we expect to grow to more than 100 staff and expand into new markets.
