The power industry is undergoing significant change around the world with many countries and companies being in transition or living with a more liberalised industry and market structure. Traditional bulk supply methods using hydrocarbon fuels are under pressure with natural gas the fuel of choice at the present time. The climate change and emissions situation is also affecting all electric power utilities in terms of the selection and operation of generation mix, moves to smaller distributed generation, and is strongly driving the increasing use of renewables technologies and emissions trading mechanisms. These developments are presenting enormous challenges for generation companies (traditional and new) and network utilities, but also provides major opportunities for new entrants.

Holmwood Consulting Limited also has the capabiltiy, through our extensive network of associates, to go beyond the traditional energy functions and to assist clients with business processes, performance metrics and delivery, projects, change management, and the independent scoping and selection assistance of   information technology solutions.
