Integrated utility of the future: expanding the toolkit
Utilities

As government-backed deregulation and re-regulation spur new strategies, Utility companies have been forced to reexamine their operations in order to remain viable. In previous years, limited spending, frozen rates and an emphasis on cost-cutting characterized the industry. Growing competition, particularly in the Generation area of the Utilities business, has created pressure to increase revenue, improve efficiency and reduce costs. At the same time Utility companies must optimize asset and service performance, and adapt to new customer and market demands. BearingPoint has developed tailored solutions and capabilities in response to the changing electric, gas, water, wastewater and solid waste Utility marketplace.
