NHA Advisors’ Utility Practice provides financial planning and funding solutions for water, sewer, recreation, electricity, storm drain and other enterprise projects. The Utility Group’s expertise includes high-level rate modeling, financial projections, climate change adaptation, credit analysis and “holistic” funding plans for capital projects. We work with the enterprises ranging from small to large local agencies as well as utility districts and special districts.
NHA Utility practice approaches each engagement with a holistic focus and finds diverse ways of funding public finance projects, including traditional bonds, State and federal loans, grants, and leveraging other funding sources. The common objective within any holistic funding approach is to deliver the lowest cost of funds and optimize long-term rate management for our public agency clients and their ratepayers.
We have demonstrated the ability to develop creative funding solutions under some of the most challenging situations, including litigation, bond covenant violation, and natural disasters.
