The natural evolution of energy and water markets requires sophisticated structural and functional arrangements to cater with the increasing complexity of the relationships between supply and demand. The design of these markets will determine the technical, economic and financial efficiency of the supply-demand balance, and impact stakeholders and consumers across the sector.
MRC experts have extensive experience in leading restructuring processes in the power, gas, and water sectors, helping governments and regulators to shape the such markets in developing and mature countries worldwide. Our team began by shaping the energy restructuring & reform in Latin America in the 1990s. Today our restructuring work encompasses stages from early market opening in Africa and Asia, up to the most delicate refinements in competitive market systems and platforms in OECD countries.
Our market restructuring work entails the detailed analysis of economic and regulatory frameworks. As such, we cover the review and design of the energy sector policy, primary and secondary legislation, economic cost benefit analyses, definition of efficient tariff schemes, revenue requirements, incentive based regulation, among others.

Moreover, both the scarcity of fossil fuel resources and their environmental impacts have triggered a significant increase in the public interest to utilize renewable energy sources and energy efficiency initiatives.
MRC provides strategic advice to private sector clients, banks and utilities on how best to adapt to state of the art sustainable policies and take full advantage of opportunities in the new energy markets. We have worked extensively in the design of measures needed to integrate the specific commercial and technical features of renewable energy sources such as cost structure, intermittency, unpredictability, and changes in the way the traditional thermal/hydro-based system needs to be operated and designed.
Our work in economics and regulation of clean energy includes: definition of policy and regulatory scheme for renewable energy and energy efficiency; tailor-made implementation plans suited to achieve clean policy targets at all levels; institutional requirements to ensure the streamlined implementation of the policy, as well as technical, economic, financial and social analysis of this technologies.
