Kathryn Porter, Watt-Logic

Kathryn started Watt-Logic in 2016, initially as a blog which grew into a consulting business. She works with clients across Europe (both EU and non-EU) on a range of energy topics. Examples of projects include negotiating a route-to-market arrangement for CCGTs, advising new entrant electricity suppliers on procurement, risk management and regulatory obligations, assisting businesses in evaluating new investments in behind-the-meter storage and energy-from-waste, and acting as an expert witness in an infrastructure-related dispute.

Kathryn has a strong interest in diversity and was Head of the UK Women’s Network at Societe Generale and a member of the Centrica Women’s Network Exco, representing both organisations in various external groups promoting the inclusion of women across the finance and energy sectors.
