Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s Insight Service is our premium research product for decision-makers in clean energy and the carbon markets. As well as all the News & Briefing and Industry services, Insight subscribers receive a regular flow of research on the key drivers of market growth: policy, energy markets, sector economics, supply chain, technology and finance.

As the world transitions to a low carbon economy, there is uncertainty and volatility – but also exceptional opportunity for those who successfully navigate the early phases.

Clients of our Insight Service have access to the expertise of the largest and best-connected team of analysts in the clean energy and carbon markets. They can be confident that they are receiving the best information possible as each piece of research is written by a specialist in that sector and geography, drawing on the knowledge of our experts across the world.

Whether you are already a major player or are looking to make your first move in clean energy and the carbon markets, our Insight Service is designed to provide you with the up-to-the-minute analysis to support your team’s most critical strategic decisions.

How this service works

Clients choose a single sector service, one of our standard packages, or assemble their own in consultation with our sales team. Each sector service consists of a bundle of elements designed to meet the needs of all members of their team, from the analyst to the boardroom.

In addition to all products from the News & Briefing and Industry Intelligence Services, Insight subscribers receive a range of the following products.

Research Notes Our Research Notes answer the critical questions that will shape the market and impact your business: how will prices change over the next 10 years? How will a new policy affect demand? What are the strategies of the major industry players? Which technology will next reach grid parity? Over time we have built the industry’s most powerful library of quality research, ready for subscribers to draw on when faced with critical, urgent questions.
Analyst Reactions In a world of unlimited news, our Analyst Reactions represent the definitive analysis of each significant development – whether a policy change, a major deal, a technological breakthrough or a geopolitical event. You need to understand the implications for your business – backed up by facts and figures – and that’s what we provide.
Quarterly Outlooks Each quarter our sector specialists produce a Market Outlook, providing comprehensive insight for investors and stakeholders in each sector. This typically includes supply, demand, cost and price forecasts; margin analysis across the industry value chain; investment trends and opportunities; and policy and technology developments.
Deep Dives Analysis of each of the carbon and commodity markets covered by Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s Insight Services is structured around a regular Deep Dive – monthly for the more liquid markets and quarterly for the less liquid markets. The Deep Dive presents an updated forecast of prices through to 2020 or 2030, and then explains why the price outlook has changed since the previous time frame.
Focus Reports Insight Services may include one or more annual Focus Report which provides an in-depth analysis of a particular issue or market. Focus Reports represent a definitive state-of-play in a sector or market.
Conference Calls Sector analysts run quarterly conference calls for Insight clients to communicate and discuss recent research highlights and address new developments.
Insight Data As they cover the key sectors of clean energy and the carbon markets, our analysts rely on proprietary data sets assembled by our research team around the world. The Insight Service not only includes the resulting completed analysis, but you also get access to the underlying data sets so that you can check them, question them and use them yourself. Examples include solar silicon and wind turbine production plants, Federal Energy Regulation Commission data, figures for carbon emissions and industrial activity.
Policy Database Our Policy Database enables clients to track government clean energy measures and programmes worldwide. Closely linked with our analytical output via our Insight Service, subscribers can search policy records by geography, sector, date and type. They can then compare and evaluate policies affecting the development of clean energy and carbon markets.
More On our models

The goal of the Insight service is not simply to explain the present – but to anticipate future market trends and direction through analysis of economic growth drivers. For this we use our range of proprietary models. These include our Global Energy and Emissions Model (GE ²M) which simulates the future development of energy- and emissions-intensive sectors of the economy across all parts of the world. GE²M enables you to derive, among others, emission and price projections, capacity and output forecasts, and investment level forecasts.

Through our robust sector-specific models, we forecast demand and supply, asset finance structures, and prices for particular parts of the supply chain (such as wind turbines and solar silicon). In some instances clients can have access to these models, which enables them to use their own inputs, or should they wish to draw on any of these models to answer specific questions, this can be done in confidence on a consultancy basis.
