The US power and utilities sector has seen the vertical unbundling of utilities into asset, customer, and trading businesses. Now we are seeing horizontal re-integration within those businesses, with further consolidation possible. At the same, private equity and infrastructure funds are investing aggressively in the sector. The nuclear industry, with several new license requests before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is also resurgent, while tax incentives spur renewable energy. In this changing landscape, companies in the sector work to meet commercial challenges, look for carbon impact opportunities, and seek closer working relationships with regulators.
Across the sector - whether in generation, transmission, or distribution - Heidrick & Struggles has completed hundreds of searches for senior-level executives in corporate, division general management, and all functional areas. As utility asset ownership has expanded, so has our client base, today including investor owned utilities, private equity firms, investment banks, and foreign and domestic infrastructure funds.
