Regulatory & Policy Advisory

UTILITY REGULATORY:
RATE CASE MANAGEMENT

From high level rate case assistance (case management, regulatory strategy, etc.) to providing expert consulting on specific technical rate case requirements (revenue requirements, cash working capital, cost of service studies, marginal cost studies and pricing, rate design, tariff design, cost of capital, attrition of earnings, and rate base), PMG Consulting has the experience you won’t find in many firms assisting your organization in utility ratemaking proceedings, including: incentive ratemaking approaches, revenue decoupling, capital spending recovery mechanisms, and inflation adjustment mechanisms. Our team also provides support for a broad range of policy, regulatory, and legislative initiatives coupled with well-proven capabilities in analyzing revenue requirements, class cost-of-service studies, rate of return analysis, and rate design.

UTILITY REGULATORY:
PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKING

PMG Consulting has the team you need to accomplish utility performance benchmarking studies for internal process assessment and improvement as well as performance evaluations for ratemaking dockets. From compiling quantitative and qualitative data to establishing metric hierarchy, we accurately represent the operations or processes, then move beyond simple high-level analysis to explore sub-process performance drivers. Our consultants find the root causes of performance gaps, then define strategies to address them.

PMG Consulting has over 50 years of combined experience developing and supporting depreciation studies.
