A Portugal-based advisory firm working across Europe
Fortis Advisory is based in Portugal and supports businesses across Europe in understanding energy markets, refining commercial strategy, and navigating an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
We work at the intersection of market analysis and commercial decision-making — helping suppliers, traders, distributors, industrial consumers and investors interpret price movements, supply-demand dynamics and regulatory developments across natural gas, electricity and oil products.
Our approach is deliberately boutique: senior-level advisory, direct engagement, and analysis built around the practical realities of trading, supply chains and commercial strategy in the European energy sector.
We maintain access to leading energy market price data providers, so that our price analysis and commercial recommendations are grounded in accurate, current market pricing across gas, power and oil products.
Advisory built around commercial reality
Six areas of focused support for companies operating in, or entering, European energy markets.
Coverage across gas, power and oil products

A focused alternative to generalist consulting
Cross-market view
A single vantage point across gas, power and oil products, where most advisory work is confined to one vertical.
Commercially practical analysis
Analysis oriented toward decisions — sales strategy, pricing, market entry — rather than academic assessment.
European regulatory awareness
Ongoing attention to the EU energy framework and how it shapes commercial and operational choices.
Boutique, senior-level approach
Direct engagement with senior advisors, without the layers typical of larger consulting organisations.
Grounded in market data
Access to leading energy market price data providers keeps our pricing and commercial views anchored in current market reality.
Independent perspective
Advisory free of trading positions or supplier affiliations, so recommendations reflect your interests rather than our own.
Across the value chain
Support that follows the full commercial path — from market entry and sales process to pricing and trading decisions.
Pan-European reach
Perspective that spans jurisdictions and cross-border flows, rather than treating each national market in isolation.
Open to strategic partnership and co-investment
Beyond advisory, Fortis Advisory is open to strategic partnerships and joint projects across European energy markets — and ready to commit its own capital where our expertise and interests align with a venture.
We engage selectively, contributing market knowledge, commercial capability and, where appropriate, direct participation in the opportunity. Every partnership is shaped around its specific goals and structure, and explored on a case-by-case basis.
Fortis Advisory participates in ventures as a strategic partner and co-investor. This is not an offer of lending or financial services; any collaboration is discussed and agreed individually.
Regulatory awareness in service of commercial decisions
We follow the EU energy regulatory landscape closely — not as a legal service, but as context for the commercial and market decisions our clients face.
- EU energy legislation and market rules
- Regulatory frameworks across gas, power and oil products
- Compliance considerations relevant to commercial operations
- Cross-border trading principles and market coupling
- Market access requirements for new entrants
- Regulatory developments affecting pricing and strategy
