Energy and utilities

Utilities, generators and energy retailers retain Tacitude. Leadership, finance, commercial and grid operations teams open projects on capital allocation, new services, tariffs, group structure and AI in the grid.

The move to low-carbon generation calls for large, long-lived investments under shifting policy and uncertain prices. Electrification, rooftop solar and storage are changing how customers buy and use energy.

Projects companies bring us

  1. How should we split our capital plan between networks, renewables and gas assets?

    Regulated and market returns, asset life and the policy risk on each asset class.

    EngagementPortfolio and capital

  2. Should we offer solar, storage and electric vehicle charging to business customers?

    The customers we already supply and the installation capacity we would need to build.

    EngagementNew businesses

  3. How should we set retail tariffs as wholesale prices move?

    Our hedged position, switching by tariff type and the cost to serve each segment.

    EngagementPricing and profitability

  4. Should we run generation, networks and retail as separate businesses?

    Any separation regulators require, the costs the businesses share and the decision rights each one needs.

    EngagementOperating model and organization

  5. Where should AI change how we run the grid: maintenance planning, demand forecasting or outage response?

    The cost of each process today, the sensor and meter data we hold and the share of the spending the regulated return covers.
