Hardly any business model is as versatile as that of municipal utilities. Across all sectors and disciplines, they ensure the provision of public services for citizens and, at the same time, are required to drive forward sustainable decarbonisation.
In this context, almost every aspect of the economic activities of municipal utilities is shaped and influenced by drastic market developments. In addition to the increased liquidity pressure due to rising energy and raw material prices, legal requirements for the energy and mobility transition and the ongoing shortage of skilled workers determine the agenda and actions of municipal utilities.
KPMG has been supporting the public sector with regional expertise for many years. Regardless of whether it is a large city or a small municipality - we offer individual consulting methods and comprehensive industry knowledge in an uncomplicated manner from a single source.
