Energy Consulting

With the pressures of globalisation, competition and deregulation, combined with increasing environmental awareness, it is vital to set a strategic direction that optimises utility systems. But how can you be sure that the processes, plans and designs are efficient, innovative, reliable and workable?

We combine a depth of knowledge, and a range of skills and scale of operation built up over a century of achievement. PB undertook much of the early pioneering work for the UK electricity supply industry. More latterly, since advising on the world's first electricity industry privatisation, in the UK, we have led the way in developing and implementing solutions in all utility sectors for deregulation and restructuring worldwide, including eastern Europe, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, South America, Africa and Australasia.

Drawing on our worldwide resources we can provide both independent commercial advice and specialist technical expertise in a single integrated team tailored to the needs of our clients, banks and investors, developers, national governments, public utilities, system operators, industry regulators, private and industrial companies, and contracting organisations.

Our consultancy service assists decision makers on issues as diverse as: industry and regulatory reform; restructuring; energy and environmental economics; project development, planning, design and management; valuations and mergers and acquisitions. But our focus is always the same - to work in competitive environments to deliver winning strategies and solutions that maximise value and drive our Clients' business forward in a sustainable way.
