The UK energy sector is changing fast. Renewables are accelerating, oil and gas remain critical. With complexity comes opportunity for businesses that stay agile and balance innovation with stability.
We work with energy businesses across renewables, oil & gas, and the wider energy ecosystem. From fast-growing challengers to established operators, our clients trust us to help them move forward with confidence.
Whether you’re developing, building, operating or investing across the energy sector. From renewables to oil and gas, success now depends on navigating complexity. Funding, people, supply chains and risk all need managing, while staying commercially viable and future-fit.
That’s where the right advisory partner makes the difference. One that understands not just the numbers, but the day-to-day realities of operating in this sector.
The energy transition is happening at scale, and with it comes pressure from every angle. Across renewables, oil & gas and wider infrastructure, businesses are being asked to invest, adapt and grow, while navigating some of the most complex commercial, regulatory and funding conditions the sector has ever faced.
From shifting policy and tax regimes to funding constraints, skills shortages and delivery risk, the challenges are real and often interconnected. We see these pressures play out every day in the work we do with energy businesses at every stage of growth.

The UK tax regime, including the Energy Profits Levy, is limiting appetite for capital investment in oil and gas, particularly in the North Sea. At the same time, renewable developers are navigating evolving policy and subsidy frameworks, with AR7 bringing renewed optimism after difficult licensing rounds.
Oil and gas is increasingly viewed as unattractive by lenders, while offshore wind and early-stage energy projects often struggle to access funding before becoming cash generative.
Many energy businesses operate globally, creating challenges around cross-border tax, compliance and reporting across multiple regimes.
Finding and retaining experienced, sector-specific talent across development, construction and operations remains a major constraint on growth.
Ongoing uncertainty around grid connections, supply chain lead times, construction interfaces and cost overruns continues to impact project viability and timelines.
At Cooper Parry, we work alongside generators, developers, investors and operators across the full energy sector, from renewables and battery storage to oil, gas and wider infrastructure. Our role is simple: remove friction, bring clarity, and help you build resilient, fundable and future-ready businesses.
Energy businesses rarely need just one solution. They need a coordinated, multi-disciplinary team that understands how finance, tax, audit and deals all intersect,and how commercial, regulatory and operational realities shape every decision.
That’s exactly how we work.
We bring together specialists from across the firm to support you through the full lifecycle, from early-stage development and funding, through construction and operations, to growth, transition or exit.
