Energy Consulting Group

What Energy Consulting Group does

Energy Consulting Group, LLC (ECG) is a Georgia-based energy management consulting firm and wholly owned subsidiary of Cooperative Energy Incorporated (CEI), founded in 2005 and headquartered in Marietta, Georgia. ECG provides energy management services exclusively to CEI and its five member Electric Membership Corporations (Central Georgia EMC, Excelsior EMC, Snapping Shoals EMC, Upson EMC, and Washington EMC), which together represent a captive distribution cooperative structure serving electricity consumers across Georgia. The firm operates as an internal services arm staffed to meet all of CEI's power supply obligations.

ECG's core offering is organized into ten service lines: Power Supply Planning, Retail Pricing and Rate Services, Fuel Supply Planning and Development, Business Strategy and Financial Structuring, Generation and Transmission Restructuring, Business Process Services, Transmission and Distribution Services, Regulatory Analysis and Compliance, Power Marketing and Resource Optimization, and Wholesale Energy Market Services. Underlying these services are proprietary analytic models for optimal market-based generation scheduling and dispatch, a portfolio approach to power supply procurement (diversifying suppliers, contract terms, generation resources, and fuel inputs), and multidisciplinary working groups that can be reconfigured for multiphased utility projects.

ECG's business model is a captive B2B professional services arrangement: it does not market externally and does not disclose pricing. The firm is staffed to CEI's requirements, with its Board composed of representatives from each member EMC. Revenue flows are internal to the cooperative structure rather than market-discovered, and the firm's growth is tied directly to the power supply needs of its five member EMCs in the Southeast US market. ECG has 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding, M&A activity, or AI/ML capabilities.
