Michael Turner, President
Since 1998, Michael has served Chymko’s clients with technical and financial analysis related to electric, natural gas, recycling, water, and wastewater utility industries. Michael’s experience in these matters covers all aspects of utility revenue and long- term financial viability; from the financial polices that drive overall rate levels to the analysis that determines the rate paid by the end-use customer. This knowledge allows Michael to lead projects advocating on behalf of our clients’ interests related to regulatory proceedings, industry restructuring, evaluating business cases, and commercial contract negotiations. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms behind Canada’s energy utility industry permits Michael to provide pertinent advice and support for a wide range of complementary issues, such as business planning and commercial matters. His analytical skills are complimented by his strong familiarity with Information Technology (“IT”), which allows him to extract, manage, and analyze data for use in the economic, financial, and valuation models.
