London, 12 January 2009 - Redpoint Energy, the specialist energy consultancy, has announced that it has formalised an agreement to collaborate with Trilemma UK Ltd.  The partnership brings together Redpoint’s extensive expertise in analytics, modelling and policy development with Trilemma’s industry and investment experience and will enable mutual clients in the European energy sector to benefit from the firms’ combined strengths.
