Energy and Environmental Experience
Greystone has undertaken numerous projects in the energy and utility sectors around the world.
Our experience extends across the entire energy value chain and builds on insights developed by
our senior team through our Energy & Environmental practice. This experience combined with
motivated client management teams has developed proprietary insights that unlock significant
value for our clients.
At the corporate level, our strategy work focuses on the most important sources of business value
based on a keen understanding of emerging technologies and regulatory and competitive
environments. At the business-unit level, Greystone helps clients retain and grow their customer
bases, improve operating performance by increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of each of the
key elements of the value chain, deploy assets and IT investments for maximum return, and
instill a high-performance culture throughout the organization.
Clients include power and gas utilities; large multi-fuel, multi-utility conglomerates; water and
waste utilities; and diversified global energy leaders. Greystone Consulting Group’s Energy &
Utilities practice is active in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
We help all kinds of companies - from distressed businesses to market leaders - craft both
corporate and business unit strategy. Often, that starts with choosing arenas to compete in and
metrics that will determine success. Getting there takes sharp strategy tools. Alongside corporate
strategy t l statements and strategic planning, we b i
t t tools, t t t d t t i l i bring our l
long, strong experience working
t i ki
with private equity firms to help companies focus resources on the right portfolio strategy and
build shareholder value.
Companies have responded with a variety of growth and defensive strategies: vertical
(dis)integration; separating production from refining, distribution and downstream marketing
activities; investments in alternative and renewable energy production; geographic expansion;
acquisitions in new markets; and deeper, more insightful customer segmentation. This turmoil is
painful, and the results of these efforts have been mixed. Companies that have been successful in
increasing revenue and profits have followed similar patterns, focusing on the development of core
businesses to their full potential and disciplined expansion into attractive adjacencies.
