Advice on utility- specific consultancies

Advice needed:

I am looking to join a consultancy which is doing extensive work with utilities in developing countries, with a London based location.

Any advice, thoughts on which companies specialise in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Try Adam Smith International. They are a consultancy based just off Albert Bridge, with a growing developing countries utility practice. I think they are always on the look out for consultants. Check them out at www.adamsmithinstitute.com

I am aware of some firms' possible plans to expand their efforts in developing countries where utilities is one of the focal points. London is a good drop zone for this activity. E-mail me.

I was interested in the request in the original message. Would it be possible to send me the same info?

Guys,

Sorry to come into the conversation so late, but here are a few suggestions (based on my experience of working as a consultant in the Energy & Utilities sector for nine years - so some of the names may have changed . . .):

Engineering-bias: Power Planning Associates, Mouchel, Scott Wilson, PB Power,

Regulation/Economics-bias: London/Frontier Economics, Caminus, Oxera, Ilex Energy Consulting, Cornwall Consulting, Adam Smith Institute, etc.

Information/Benchmarking: Datamonitor, Experian, JD Power,

'Big-Firms': KPMG, D&T, Accenture, IBM Consulting, PA Consulting, RSM Robson Rhodes, AD Little, AT Kearney, McKinsey, Booz Allen, etc.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

FYI, after ten years as a consultant, I am just about to return to industry as MD of a small electricity and water utility in the Caribbean . . .
