Commercial Development for utilities. There is a strong trend to unbundled vertically integrated utilities as well as a trend to ring-fence the electricity operations of local and regional authorities and separate them into regional electricity distribution companies. This often represents a major shift in orientation and organisation. From our experience of working within utilities as well as consulting to utilities, regulators and policy makers we can assist with many facets of commercial development, particularly at electricity distribution level.
