By developing the gas and power networks and generation needed for a greener world, power and utilities companies stand on the energy transition’s front line. BCG’s utilities consulting team enables players to navigate the future with confidence.
Playing in the power and utilities arena has never been more challenging—or more important. Today’s utilities must drive the uptake of renewable energy sources, enable behind-the-meter systems, leverage digital technologies, and grapple with climate events—while still meeting their regulatory obligations. Our gas and electric power consulting team helps players find a path through these challenges—and any others the future may hold.
At BCG, we use our deep commercial, technical, and regulatory expertise to support a broad range of companies, advising both regulated and unregulated power and gas players worldwide on their transmission and distribution, generation, and retail businesses.
Our power and utilities consulting team enables companies to set a strategic direction and drive toward a net zero future. In addition to advising on strategy, we help our clients build new capabilities, such as flexibility management, and solve difficult operational issues, such as delivering massive capital projects in a supply chain-constrained environment. We also support their engagement with governments and regulators on market design and regulatory reviews.
