Energy and utilities

The energy sector is at the heart of the battle against climate change. With a focus on forging a sustainable and net-zero future, the energy transition is underway.

Energy affordability, accessibility, security and water scarcity are just some of the challenges facing the sector. There’s also a huge opportunity, however. The rapid scale-up and use of new technology, the digital and clean mobility revolution, and the creation of resilient and interconnected energy supply chains and infrastructure, are areas redefining the energy eco-system, and the role of the customer.

We work across the energy value chain to help our clients thrive in complex energy markets and establish next generation utilities and technology.
