Thanks to LCG, in 1983 if you wanted to optimize your generator dispatch, you didn’t needed to pay a lot of money for a mainframe computer and the computer scientists to program it; in 1988, if you wanted to use a financial or engineering based program dedicated to the energy industry, it wouldn’t have to be text based; in 1990 if you wanted to analyze the emerging energy markets, you wouldn’t need to speculate; and in 2008 if you want to accurately forecast the physical and financial operations of a deregulated electricity network, you can.

Incorporated in 1983, LCG Consulting has been dedicated to providing clients with the information and tools necessary to navigate the complex dynamics between the physical and economic aspects of large energy systems.

Based in Los Altos, California with offices in Paris France, our client base stretches around the world and consists of players from all aspects of the energy industry.
