Industries Utilities Overview - Ernst & Young - Australia

How do you manage through the recession and position your company for growth? Our power and utilities professionals and other sector leaders conducted over 1500 client meetings and identified some overarching themes. Proactive capital allocation, steps to accelerate decision-making and an increased focus on risk management could mean the difference between surviving and thriving.

In the June 2009 edition of our magazine, world leading companies like EDF, E.ON, Gazprom, Southern Company and Vattenfall talk about their ambitious new projects, their vision for the future and the challenge of refocusing business plans in a tighter economy. We also explore the business impact of new carbon restrictions and ask: how should we spend our money to battle climate change?  Access the new issue here (pdf, 2mb).
