Disruption is continuous in the power sector
The power sector has been undergoing multiple disruptions over a number of years. Even before the impact of deregulation and unbundling, which upended the traditional utility model, was absorbed, the industry was again jolted by the onset of distributed and renewable energies as well as energy efficiency initiatives, as a response to societal demands for reduced environmental impact and decarbonization. Now technology is again reshaping the power sector. Rapidly falling costs in wind and solar power make traditional scale economies less valuable and distributed generation more attractive. Digitization is changing the way business is done, effectively transforming a traditional commodity into a sophisticated service offering. Previously shaped mainly by regulation, evolution in the power industry is now driven by technology.

We further help our clients develop strategy to scale; Design and implement effective marketing and sales initiatives; Optimize energy management and implement advanced asset management practices for high levels of operational and financial performance.
