Utilities
See the world differently
Meeting the growing demand for utility services is not easy — and navigating the complex rules and regulations that govern the industry can be a challenge.
Crowe has many years of experience and deep expertise helping water, sewer, storm water, waste, and energy utilities respond to new regulations, determine fair rates, and prepare for the needs of the future.
Navigating the rules and regulations
As mandates change and priorities evolve, regulatory compliance can be a constant battle.
Imagine being a step ahead of the continually changing rules and regulations.
Crowe has extensive experience working with utilities, managing projects and determining rates.
We can help you create a practical plan for timely compliance and equitable rates.
Setting fair rates
Fair and justifiable utility rates are a must if they are going to withstand scrutiny from governing authorities and meet constituents’ expectations.
Imagine routinely being able to answer your constituents’ questions.
Crowe offers a rate-setting methodology that helps you produce detailed documentation that is easy to understand — and easy to explain in rate hearings, city council, and board meetings.
Looking to the future
As the utilities industry evolves, we’re here to help you change with it.
Imagine what you could do with the latest and greatest technology.
Crowe can help you update your legacy systems, implement new ERP and financial planning systems, and issue bonds to support new projects.
We can also help you plan alternative energy infrastructure, evaluate alternative energy and green programs, explore new advances in utilities delivery, find new program funding, and meet your overall portfolio obligations.
Finding funding and planning expenditures
As infrastructure ages, utilities must spend more to modernize and maintain safe operations.
And as technology advances, consumers and regulators demand new alternatives.
The common denominator: all of these priorities require funding. Crowe has many years of experience helping utility providers, from bond issuance to long-term capital plans.
Imagine having the funding to truly meet your constituents’ needs.
We draw on our experience to make the most of your funding sources, seek out new sources when possible, and maintain cost-effective operations to build a solid financial foundation for the long term.
