Hyder plc
 PROFILE
Hyder is not one to hide its many talents. The company is primarily a multi-utility: its Dwr Cymru Welsh Water provides water and wastewater services to 3 million customers in Wales, and its South Wales Electricity (SWALEC) distributes electricity to 1 million customers in the region. (SWALEC's energy supply business has been sold.) Hyder also provides infrastructure consulting in more than 90 countries. Other activities range from environmental assessment to outsourcing services (training and billing). Hyder is a subsidiary of UK electric company Western Power Distribution (itself a joint venture of US utility giants PPL and the Southern Co.), which prevailed in a bidding war with Japan's Nomura Securities.
