What Larios Consulting Services, LLC does

Larios Consulting Services, LLC (LCS, also operating as LYC, including a Mexico division branded LYC Mexico) is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2019 and headquartered at 2420 University Ave, San Diego, California. The firm serves power and utility clients — primarily investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities, and energy storage operators in California — delivering program management, project management, inspections and regulatory compliance, Transmission and Distribution engineering design, process optimization, and custom technology solutions. Its named client base spans SDG&E, Imperial Irrigation District, Liberty Utilities, AECOM, Michels, RDQ, and CEPC, with a documented operational footprint of 300+ simultaneous projects managed on behalf of SDG&E's Transmission Corrective Maintenance Program.

LCS has built three proprietary platforms that anchor its services-plus-product model: TRACs (a multi-stakeholder program and project data management system with two-way external integrations), the EOC Tracker (a real-time infrastructure infraction and Public Safety Power Shutoff decision-support platform that the company reports reduced emergency response time from over 72 hours to under 24 hours), and the DINERO App (a centralized review and approval system for hundreds of millions of dollars of construction work annually, reducing processing time from 56 to 26 days). All three platforms are presented as in-house, customizable, and designed to integrate with client enterprise systems. The firm also operates a LYC Mexico division with offices in Tijuana and Hermosillo serving Latin American utility markets.

Revenue is generated exclusively through direct enterprise field sales to utility clients via project-based or retainer engagements, with pricing handled through private contact-based quoting. LCS does not disclose revenue, funding, or ownership structure beyond its California LLC domicile, and it operates with a very lean headcount of approximately five employees, suggesting a leveraged delivery model supported by contractors. The firm holds an extensive portfolio of utility-sector certifications (MBE, OSHA, BPELSG, ISNetWorld, PMP/PGMP/PMO-CP, (ISC)² CC, Scrum CSPO) and lists computer vision and predictive risk analytics as forward-looking platform enhancements.
