As the demand for energy increases and additional
sources are provided from renewable energy the pressure
on the power distribution network grows. The National Grid has
estimated that the current network built in the 50's and 60's will
have to increase its capacity by 25% to take account of wind power
alone. This increase in capacity, combined with new connections, is
the largest programme of work to hit the sector for
years.
In recognising that it is a regulated sector EC Harris addresses
the market need to balance regulatory and environmental
pressures with those of financial stakeholders, whilst optimising
clients' capital and operational expenditure, asset performance and
asset ownership.
The need to implement programmes of works and complete on time
and within budget is a key factor. EC Harris works with clients to
realise their strategic goals through regulatory reviews, programme
delivery strategy, implementation and programme management.
EC Harris is involved with all of the major utilities, and
clients recognise and value our extensive knowledge and
understanding of business drivers and asset performance. We use our
extensive knowledge to design and implement solutions that improve
our clients' business performance.
We also have an extensive international track record of working
with our clients to support long term change by establishing and
delivering whole or elements of their strategic plan.
