Leading Energy

Leading Energy is produced by the PwC Energy Advisory Group.

Our Energy Advisory Group is the largest of its kind in the country and comprises a Corporate Finance, Tax Assurance and Regulatory team. The PwC Energy Advisory Group has now advised on mergers and acquisitions in the New Zealand electricity industry with an underlying value in excess of $8.5 billion.

2007 marks a sea change in the mindset of the global utilities industry. For the first time, in the nine-year history of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ global annual survey, sustainability is foremost in the minds of utility company leaders. Companies across the world expect that renewable energy and the need to gain increased energy efficiency will head the list of major developments in their power markets over the coming five-year period. This view is entirely consistent with New Zealand’s current energy policy. Companies are placing a significantly increased emphasis on a range of ‘climate change related’ measures.
