Introduction

Hi there! For over 25 years, I have been working in the electricity supply industry as a consultant, mainly for development agencies, providing expert services in areas of financial analyses of utility organizations, tariff design and capital project evaluation, both in Canada and overseas. I pride myself on the high-quality work I deliver to my clients.

I personally provide assistance in three key areas:

1.  Evaluation of capital-intensive projects, either from the viewpoint of an economist or, in the form of a financial forecast. 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 socio-economic benefits. For a complete list of hydro projects in which I have been involved, click here.

2.  Financial analyses and evaluation of utility organizations. This may include critical analyses of existing financial statements, or corporate/ business planning, with a view to forecasting financial performance under various scenarios of operations, financing and tariff increases.

3.  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. This is actually the specialty area that brings in most of my work, as may be seen from this list of projects involving tariff related work that I have carried out.
