In recent years, merger, acquisition and divestiture activity in the energy industry has increased dramatically. Enabling EPACT legislation, combined with the potential for increasing returns, has continued to drive the market. Market risks are greater than ever as regulation at the federal and state level evolves, market volatility increases and technological advances shorten the economic life of assets. As utilities, developers and investors consider growth strategies, there is increased pressure to develop sound and comprehensive business plans in support of business transactions.

R. W. Beck helps our clients through the process by providing technically-based independent business advice regarding the transaction. Over the years, we have helped public and private owners of electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities to evaluate the business risks and associated returns of their transactions and communicate these business risks with all stake holders - from the financial community to regulators and customers to special interest groups.

In support of our clients' needs, we have developed a broad scope of services, which address the many considerations applicable when making these critical decisions. Our services span the gamut of financial services, ranging from buyout, change management and condemnation assistance to key negotiations, litigation support, asset inventory, valuation and mapping.
