Power & Utilities

Energy use, sources, delivery, and storage are all in transition. Players across the landscape must build capacity, improve sustainability, and provide an agile and resilient grid for shifting demand amid disruption and rising competition. Large investments at an unprecedented scale continue to be needed to support decarbonization.

As technology continues to evolve, legacy assets and skillsets may be rendered obsolete and will certainly transition. Effective asset management will be key to reducing stranded costs and protecting investments. At the same time, companies will need to navigate the patchwork of regulatory bodies and various incentive and requirement programs as energy policy evolves.

AlixPartners has deep operating experience up and down the energy value chain and works with companies to position for tomorrow’s market. From infrastructure and utilities, merchant participants, investment firms, industrial suppliers, engineering contractors, and regulators, we partner with the players shaping the new industry. Our team has served in the industry as executives with responsibility for delivering targets and leading teams, as experts in litigation and regulatory matters, and as advisors to management, investors, and regulators.
