The utilities industry is central to economic activity. Global economic growth is dependent on water and power. Delivering sustainable expansion of water and energy provision is a critical challenge to the utilities industry. Massive investment is needed. At the same time, the market, regulatory and customer context of the sector is evolving continually.
In this situation, we see our role in assisting our utility clients to raise their shareholder value, investment attractiveness and operational effectiveness. We analyse tax risks and improve corporate governance, as well as implement global best practices. Being the leader of the audit and advisory market in many parts of the world, we help utility enterprises face all market challenges and win. We deliver a comprehensive suite of services including enterprise-wide risk management, political risk assessment, and a range of climate change, energy trading, regulatory, compliance and M&A services.
We work with companies and industry stakeholders in every region of the world and have been instrumental in the major developments that are shaping the industry. Inside the industry, we have played a key part in landmark deals, privatisations and the design of new market structures. Outside the industry, our leadership role in professional and standard-setting organisations puts us in an ideal position to deliver ‘first and best’ information and advice on developments such as the application of new international reporting standards.
For utility companies across the globe, PricewaterhouseCoopers offers a strong and reliable network of dedicated industry experts. Our goal is to help our clients extract value from their national and international operations, to develop competitive advantage across the value chain and to ensure, in an immensely challenging and changing environment, that all stakeholder expectations are recognised and met.
