Power and Utilities

Overview
We help global utilities, Independent Power Producers (IPPs), and new entrants reduce risks, make sound strategic decisions, and ultimately build their projects faster and better. As we enter 2025, we are confronted with a new reality: the world needs electrons, and fast. Data centers, EV adoption, and mass electrification demand more electricity. Renewables such as solar, battery storage, onshore wind, and offshore wind will provide many of these electrons. Renewable energy developers must innovate, reduce risks, work with communities and stakeholders, and adapt to policy changes to meet this demand.
