Global growth and change are putting pressure on scarce energy and water resources like never before. The utilities sector is in the spotlight as companies, governments and consumers grapple with issues such as security of supply, environmental impact and affordability. The sector is on a journey of major change, anticipating a world with a much wider range of technologies than at present and where the shape of the industry changes. Companies are seeking to extend their value chain both upward and downward to secure supply and end-markets. The traditional boundaries that define the utilities industry are becoming blurred as the interdependence of different energy sectors and between utility and technology companies is becoming more critical.

PricewaterhouseCoopers works with companies and industry stakeholders in every region of the world and has been instrumental in many of the major developments that are shaping the industry. Our role is to assist our utility clients to raise their shareholder value, investment attractiveness and operational effectiveness.

We deliver a comprehensive suite of services including enterprise-wide risk management, a range of climate change, energy trading, regulatory, compliance and M&A services. Always, our goal is to put ourselves in our utility clients’ shoes, able to understand their needs and add value from our knowledge and expertise.

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. Our leadership in the utilities industry is reflected in our collaboration with leading industry bodies such as the World Energy Council.

For utility companies and stakeholders in any part of 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 acted upon and met.
