Strategic options assessments

ACIL Tasman has undertaken a number of projects for companies, with the aim of assisting them with:

  • understanding the various strategic options that are available to them in the current and future phases of their development
  • methodologies for assessing and ranking each of the options taking into account the specific attributes of the companies and their objectives.

We have developed a number of proprietary techniques to facilitate such assessments using real options, scenario analysis, earnings at risk and statistical analysis.

Electricity market modelling

ACIL Tasman has developed PowerMark, a model that simulates the formulation of prices in the electricity market. It is at the cutting edge in simulating market behaviour, including the exercise of market power. The model has been extensively used to assist new entrants, banks and governments in understanding market behaviour and likely outcomes.
