Justin Goonesinghe · Independent Energy Advisor

Energy security and resilience advisory

I support governments, utilities and development partners with solutions and strategies for energy security and resilience in a more complex world.

My work covers critical infrastructure and energy markets, connecting disruption scenarios with operational, investment and institutional decisions. This includes the policy and regulatory conditions for resilience, as well as technical studies undertaken with relevant supporting experts and firms.

How I can support your work

Market resilience strategies

Assess supply disruption, gas import requirements and market exposure, and develop resilience policies and roadmaps.

Critical infrastructure security

Support infrastructure security assessments, wartime stress tests and priorities for transmission, storage and production systems.

Technical and feasibility studies

Coordinate specialist studies and assess the role of AI in analysis. Technical services are offered in cooperation with relevant experts and firms.

Emergency preparedness

Support programmes for emergency equipment, personnel protection and operational readiness.

Relevant background

I spent six years supporting Ukraine’s energy sector throughout wartime through Tetra Tech, including leadership of the gas team within the US$937 million Ukraine Energy Security Project. Work included pre-winter stress tests, emergency equipment programmes and support for personnel shelters. I now serve as an independent supervisory board member of Gas Distribution Networks of Ukraine.
