Introduction

Greetings! For over 30 years, I have been working in the electricity supply industry as a consultant, mainly for development agencies, providing expert services in areas of economic and financial analyses, electricity tariff design, market structure and capital project evaluation. I take pride in the high-quality work I deliver to my clients.

I generally provide assistance in three areas:

1.  Evaluation of capital-intensive infrastructure projects, either from an economic or financial perspective. In particular, I understand hydropower developments well, an area that requires a keen appreciation of the technical aspects of the hydro project, as well as an understanding of its benefits. For a complete list of hydro projects in which I have been involved, click here.

2.  Tariff studies, including all related analyses leading up to tariff design for the electricity supply industry. This includes determination of revenue requirements, cost of service studies, marginal cost analyses and detailed tariff design. Historically, this has been the specialty area that has brought in most of my work, as may be seen from this list of projects involving tariff related work in which I have been involved.

3.  Team leadership on power sector projects. After having been involved in many different kinds of power sector projects over the years, I have naturally reached a point where I can effectively manage teams of multidisciplinary professionals, including both consultants and client staff. This has included not only projects of an economic/ financial analysis nature, but also very technical engineering oriented projects. My Team Leader/ Task Leader/ PM experience is summarized here.
