Despite the massive restructuring that has affected regulated industries in the past ten years, regulated control over monopoly assets continues, though the commodity that flows through them is often decontrolled. Even regulated transmission and distribution businesses are not immune from competition, however, as competition from new pipelines or transmission lines threatens to undercut the incumbents’ traditional dominance over markets and customers.
Kline consultants have worked with major utility companies around the world and have addressed clients’ strategic questions regarding the development of:
- corporate strategies to redefine the company in the face of an unregulated world;
- business plans to grow the unregulated part of a utility’s portfolio; and
- performance-improvement initiatives aimed at the supply chain functions.
Selected examples of our Utilities Industry experience:
- Developed a strategic plan for three different US-based gas utilities allowing each company to focus their growth initiatives in global markets.
- Restructured a Midwestern US gas utility’s organization and strategic plan as a result of Federal deregulation.
- Assessed the value of a New South Wales gas utility as a part of the privatization initiatives then under way in Australia.
