          Energy, Environmental & Sustainable Development Experience
Greystone has undertaken numerous projects in the energy and utility sectors around the world.
Our experience extends across the entire energy value chain and builds on insights developed by
our senior team through our Energy & Environmental practice. This experience combined with
motivated client management teams has developed proprietary insights that unlock significant
value for our clients.
At the corporate level, our strategy work focuses on the most important sources of business value
based on a keen understanding of emerging technologies and the regulatory and competitive
environments. At the business-unit level, Greystone helps clients retain and grow their customer
bases, improve operating performance by increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of each of the
key elements of the value chain, deploy assets and IT investments for maximum return, and
instill a high-performance culture throughout the organization.
Clients include power and gas utilities; large multi-fuel, multi-utility conglomerates; water and
waste utilities; and diversified global energy leaders. Greystone Consulting Group’s Energy &
Environmental practice is active in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
We help all kinds of companies - from distressed businesses to market leaders - craft both
corporate and business unit strategy. Often, that starts with choosing arenas to compete in and
metrics that will determine success. Getting there takes sharp strategy tools. Alongside corporate
strategy tools, statements and strategic planning, we bring our long, strong experience working
with private equity firms to help companies focus resources on the right portfolio strategy and
build shareholder value.
Companies have responded with a variety of growth and defensive strategies: vertical
(dis)integration; separating production from refining, distribution and downstream marketing
activities; investments in alternative and renewable energy production; geographic expansion;
acquisitions in new markets; and deeper, more insightful customer segmentation. This turmoil is
painful, and the results of these efforts have been mixed. Companies that have been successful in
increasing revenue and profits have followed similar patterns, focusing on the development of core
businesses to their full potential and disciplined expansion into attractive adjacencies.

                          Jeffrey Smith, Past Executive Director
                          Government Relations
                          Federal, regional, and state clean air policy is critical to the size and shape of the air
                          pollution control industry. ICAC has a long history of successfully influencing legislation
                          and rules at all levels of government. ICAC conducts a vigorous government relations
                          program designed to educate federal, regional, and state officials on the capabilities of
                          members' air pollution control products and processes, and the industry's views on policy
                          issues. This program includes regular face-to-face briefings and correspondence. ICAC also
                          testifies formally and informally on proposed actions of interest to the industry. In
                          aggressively promoting the APC Industry, ICAC also seeks a cooperative, rather than an
                          adversarial, relationship with government decision-makers and other interested parties.
                          Industry Relations
                          ICAC works with many others - including regulated industry - concerning national, state,
                          and local environmental issues. Where possible, ICAC coordinates its government
                          relations activities with these groups. ICAC also features users of APC technology in its
                          technical conferences, including its well-known and successful Forum Series.

Our experience extends across the entire energy value chain and builds on insights developed by our senior team through our Energy & Environmental practice. This experience combined with motivated client management teams has developed proprietary insights that unlock significant value for our clients. At the corporate level, our strategy work focuses on the most important sources of business value based on a keen understanding of emerging technologies and the regulatory and competitive environments. At the business-unit level, Greystone helps clients retain and grow their customer bases, improve operating performance by increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of each of the key elements of the value chain, deploy assets and IT investments for maximum return, and instill a high-performance culture throughout the organization. Clients include power and gas utilities; large multi-fuel, multi-utility conglomerates; water and waste utilities; and diversified global energy leaders. Greystone Consulting Group’s Energy & Environmental practice is active in the Americas, Europe and Asia. We help all kinds of companies - from distressed businesses to market leaders - craft both corporate and business unit strategy. Often, that starts with choosing arenas to compete in and metrics that will determine success. Getting there takes sharp strategy tools. Alongside corporate strategy tools, statements and strategic planning, we bring our long, strong experience working with private equity firms to help companies focus resources on the right portfolio strategy and build shareholder value. Companies have responded with a variety of growth and defensive strategies: vertical (dis)integration; separating production from refining, distribution and downstream marketing activities; investments in alternative and renewable energy production; geographic expansion; acquisitions in new markets; and deeper, more insightful customer segmentation. This turmoil is painful, and the results of these efforts have been mixed. Companies that have been successful in increasing revenue and profits have followed similar patterns, focusing on the development of core businesses to their full potential and disciplined expansion into attractive adjacencies.
