History
TCR’s roots date back to the 1980s when Richard Tabors and Michael Caramanis, along with Fred C. Schweppe and Roger E Bohn wrote Spot Pricing of Electricity (Kluwer Academic, 1989). That book provides the theoretical and practical underpinning for Locational Marginal Pricing in competitive power markets worldwide.

​Formed in 2014, TCR is the linear descendent of Tabors Caramanis & Associates (TCA), which was founded in 1988 and acquired by Charles River Associates (CRA) in 2004.
