Where the market is moving

Power systems in the Gulf and India are being built for growth and for transition at the same time: new generation, grids sized for fast rising demand, and renewable capacity added at scale. The leaders in demand can deliver capital programmes, run assets safely and work with utilities, regulators and investors.

We look for leaders who have built and operated capacity, not only planned it, and who are fluent in power purchase economics and grid integration. Many of the strongest candidates have led large projects in India and the GCC, and we engage them with discretion.

What this practice covers
  • Power generation, transmission and utilities
  • Renewable energy
