Energy

In a highly competitive and rapidly shifting market, we help organisations in the energy sector to shape policy, protect reputation and communicate with impact.

Energy is a sector full of innovation, competition and regulation – rapidly changing and evolving, and becoming ever more complex in the process.

At the same time, energy is in the spotlight like never before, with increasing political and media scrutiny around security, cost and carbon, as the sector manages geopolitical pressures whilst driving the societal transition to net zero and clean tech.

In this context, organisations working in energy sector require an expert communications partner to cut through complexity, maximise opportunities and navigate a terrain filled with potential pitfalls.

PLMR’s award-winning energy practice works with organisations across the sector to deliver communications with impact across our integrated service offer.

  • Public Affairs
    We help energy clients engage with key decision-makers and institutions across Westminster, Whitehall, devolved and local government; as well as the key regulatory bodies and influencers such Ofgem and NESO. From policy development to regulatory change, we help you shape the conversations that matter.
  • PR and Corporate Communications
    We craft compelling messaging for the energy, renewables and clean tech sectors that highlights your USP and helps deliver cut-through, elevated through strategic and impactful PR campaigns that engage customers, communities and investors – raising your profile, building credibility and driving meaningful change across the sector.
  • Planning Communications
    We offer practical guidance and locally attuned campaigns that developers need to successfully engage with communities, stakeholders, and decision-makers; helping to deliver consent for projects in solar, storage, wind, energy-from-waste and beyond.
  • Crisis and Reputation Management
    We provide proactive risk planning and rapid-response support – protecting your reputation and helping you manage scrutiny or incident with confidence and control. From infrastructure issues and regulatory scrutiny to activist pressure and leadership challenges, we don’t just manage the crisis. We shape the narrative and the plan before it can spiral – safeguarding trust in the energy sector.
  • Digital services
    From website builds to graphic production, branding and targeted ad campaigns, we help make energy relatable through design, and target your content to support stakeholder engagement, community consultation, policy influence and brand visibility.
