The work spans the programme cycle: designing new facilities, supporting delivery, evaluating what happened, and advising state-owned enterprises directly on transition strategy.
Designing new energy and climate facilities, mechanisms, and programmes from concept to launch. Theory of change development, blended finance and viability gap structures, donor-bankable concept design, and the underlying programme logic that ties technical, financial, and institutional elements into something that can actually be delivered.
Useful where donors and implementing partners are shaping new facilities, pressure-testing concepts before launch, or restructuring programmes that need a sharper design.

Senior advisory support to implementing partners and programme teams during execution. The work translates strategy into operating reality and works through the technical, political, and financial constraints that emerge once delivery begins.
It includes investment-grade audits, measurement and verification protocols, financial modelling, and ESCO design where these anchor the strategic engagement. The work stays close enough to delivery to verify what actually works on the ground.

Terminal evaluations, mid-term reviews, and learning reviews for donor-funded energy and climate programmes. Mixed methods, theory of change validation, results-based reporting, and the technical depth to evaluate energy work credibly.
The aim is evaluation that does not just record what happened but surfaces what other programmes can apply.

Strategic advisory to state-owned enterprises and utilities on transition pathways. Long-term decarbonisation planning, asset-level analysis, financing strategy, and the regulatory and institutional enablers required to make a transition real.
The buyer here is the operating company itself. The work spans technology, finance, policy, and stakeholder management at the level where energy systems are actually run.
Two modes.
Direct adviser. Bounded engagements: scope the situation, structure the response, step back.
Senior expert. Named specialist capacity on competitive donor-funded programmes for implementing partners.
In both modes, senior advisors lead the work directly. Momentum is structured around senior advisory leadership rather than a layered consulting hierarchy. For larger engagements, the firm convenes expert teams from a trusted associate network.
