Details

EY is one of the ‘Big 4’ professional services firms that employs over 260,000 people in 150 countries, including c14,500 in the UK alone. We operate across four service lines of Assurance, Tax, Transactions and Advisory, the latter of which will be the focus of our session.

Our purpose is clear: we build a better working world. Our contribution to infrastructure projects of economic and strategic importance is a key part of this. In Advisory, our focus is on helping our clients invest successfully, deliver more output for less, maintain and operate their infrastructure for less, and transform their service outcomes.

We work across the project lifecycle, from project development to construction and operations, through to end of life strategy and decommissioning. We operate across all asset intensive sectors including transportation (air, rail, road, ports), utilities (power generation, transmission and distribution, water) and oil & gas (owner, oil field services, distribution), working with both private and public sector clients, from early stage start-ups to some of the world’s biggest infrastructure projects.

An area of particular focus for us recently has been decommissioning - the last, and often most neglected, stage of the infrastructure lifecycle. However, as assets age, it is a growing global issue which is quickly growing in prominence and of strategic importance to infrastructure owners. In the UK alone, the cost of decommissioning North Sea Oil & Gas assets is valued at anywhere between £60bn - £300bn, and the majority of UK nuclear fleet is expected to be retired within the next decade. We will talk through how we help our client’s think through the challenge of end of life assets, and how they can potentially turn a liability into an opportunity.
