West Monroe was named to Vault’s Top 20 Energy Consulting firms list for 2023, ranking No. 13, up from No. 14 in 2022.
“It is an honor to be recognized by Vault and our peers as a top energy consulting firm,” said Dan Belmont, managing partner and leader of West Monroe’s Energy & Utilities practice. “With the energy and utility industry continuing to embrace the net-zero transition through decarbonization, decentralization, and digital transformation, West Monroe is uniquely positioned to support these complex transformational changes by delivering valuable solutions to our clients as they navigate these unprecedented challenges of the changing world of utilities.”
Vault surveyed more than 16,000 consulting professionals as the basis of their rankings, asking employees to rate their firms on multiple elements. As part of the survey, consultants are also asked to rate the prestige of peer firms and to select the strongest firms in more than a dozen specific practice areas; for the prestige and practice area rankings, consultants were unable to rate or vote for their own firms. While West Monroe did not take part in the employee survey, the firm was named to the top energy consulting firms as distinguished by its peers.
