10 utility consultants
Rates and regulation are the core for most of these utility consultants: cost of service and rate design, FERC and state rate cases, transmission pricing, and economic regulation in the UK. The others focus on utility management, system implementation and strategic planning for electric, water and gas utilities. They are a good call for a utility or municipality preparing a rate filing, redesigning rates, or scoping a large operations or systems project.
