Practice

Power & Utilities

A comprehensive practice supporting clients across the energy transition: generation, networks, storage, large loads and the markets that connect them.

Perspective

The grid is being rebuilt in real time.

Electrification, renewables and storage are rewriting the economics of power faster than most planning cycles can keep up. Asset owners face new revenue models, utilities face new load and reliability challenges, not least from data centres and other mission-critical loads, and investors face markets whose price formation is changing under their feet.

We help clients make confident decisions in that environment. We combine hands-on engineering understanding of how power systems are planned, built and operated with the commercial and financial analysis to know which investments, contracts and strategies will hold their value.
