Industry Challenges
The North American Electricity Industry is in the midst of two major changes. These changes to the industry have created a unique opportunity for qualified consultants. 

First, the electricity industry is restructuring to implement competitive electricity markets. This restructuring is in various stages across North America and has resulted in the need for expertise in the development and implementation of electricity markets. These markets range from complex multi-day financially binding mechanisms to simple financial hedging mechanisms. As a result of this restructuring, consultants with experience in market development and implementation are in scarce supply.

Second, The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) was certified as the electric reliability organization by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on July 20, 2006. They were charged with developing and enforcing compliance to the planning and operating rules that electric utilities follow to ensure the most reliable system possible (Reliability Standards). The first set of these standards became mandatory and enforceable on June 18, 2007.  This has created an opportunity for consultants in both preparing registered entities for audits and in administering compliance audits.
