McLennan Magasanik Associates (MMA) is expert in energy and a substantial portion of this work is in electricity. Our expertise also covers natural gas and coal. Our capabilities encompass cost of supply, economics of use, cogeneration, contract negotiations, long range forecasting of pool prices and valuation of supply facilities. Over the last seven years we have increasingly applied these capabilities to providing advice in the context of competitive electricity markets, particularly how to make a transition to a competitive market.
McLennan Magasanik Associates (MMA) has over twenty years experience in consulting at a strategic and tactical level on natural gas issues. MMA works continuously in the field of natural gas, including conventional natural gas and coalbed methane. Over the past twenty years we have provided strategic advice in respect of all stages of the natural gas chain: production, transmission, storage, wholesale, distribution, retail and end-use purchasing. We have also provided advice to governments on policy issues, regulation and on specific projects.
MMA has strong capabilities in economic analysis and modelling including experience gained in many “hard to quantify” studies.
