ApproachTCR brings a multi-disciplinary, quantitative approach to our analyses. Our team has a comprehensive range of technical, economic, financial and regulatory expertise. We apply state-of-the-art analytical tools and simulation models, in particular ENELYTIX®, a cloud-based electric market modeling environment, that TCR licenses from Newton Energy Group, its research affiliate. TCR provides analyses with rigorous results that withstand peer reviews and litigation scrutiny. We present those analyses and results clearly and convincingly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Our team members have provided litigation support and expert testimony on market behavior, contract arbitration, ratemaking and asset valuations at the Federal level, in arbitrations and state regulatory proceedings. We have prepared asset valuations of a wide range of electricity resources, including gas-fired units, wind units and energy efficiency programs.
