Electricity
Retail
Whether as the cash flow engine for an integrated business or as an independent profit centre, retailing electricity presents a challenging and increasingly competitive strategic domain. Moving beyond the utility model fundamentally challenges the customer relationship paradigm many retailers have inherited, while for new entrants growing a customer base while managing wholesale risk remains a formidable challenge. In fully deregulated markets, the move to smart metering is opening the door to a range of innovative propositions, with new entrants enjoying a number of inherent advantages in these circumstances.
Our experience ranges from advising retailers on new technologies, to development of strategies to capitalise upon sustainability opportunities. We have worked in the full range of retail regulatory environments.
