A safe pair of hands for high value infrastructure decisions

Slim Power Advisory (SPA) brings clarity and rigour to infrastructure investment decision-making in Australia's energy industry.

Why SPA

Confidence in your infrastructure investment

Infrastructure investments are high value and difficult to reverse once built. That's why clarity and rigour in infrastructure investment business cases are essential, not optional, to sound decision-making.

Achieving this requires the right advisory partner with the depth of expertise and experience. We are a trusted advisor in the energy industry, particularly electricity networks, bringing technical, regulatory, commerical, and storytelling expertise to every engagement.

Our services

Five ways we can help you invest with confidence

Business cases

A robust, evidence-based business case to inform your investment decision. We:

  • Bring clarity to the need case and the business issue behind it
  • Identify the options that genuinely address it
  • Build robust, evidence-based cost benefit analysis to determine the recommended option
  • Craft well-justified narrative that enables executive and board approval

Regulatory submissions to the AER

Well-justified submissions grounded in the Australian electricity regulatory framework, including:

  • Revenue proposals that demonstrate prudent, efficient investments, leveraging experiences with electricity transmission and distribution network revenue proposals
  • Regulatory investment tests (RITs)

Asset management

Strategies and plans that consider the asset whole lifecycle. We:

  • Identify asset issues and pain points through data analysis
  • Develop the options that address them
  • Compare options on whole-of-lifecycle costs and benefits to determine the most efficient option
  • Produce well-aligned asset management strategies and plans

Infrastructure strategy

A clear pathway from current asset position to future business requirements. We:

  • Articulate the current state honestly
  • Set out a future state worth reaching
  • Run the gap analysis between the current and future states
  • Build the roadmap to close the gap

Project management

Hands-on management of complex projects involving multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and fixed deadlines, such as a revenue proposal to the AER.
