History & Present
ECG was founded in Switzerland in 1999 by three former ABB senior executives. Over time, ex-utility managers have joined the organisation, extending our power generation expertise – and enabling us to serve the entire electricity value chain (generation-transmission-distribution). Our belief is that a thorough technical and commercial understanding of the entire electricity value chain is needed to effectively address the many interdependencies at work in any power system. Today, ECG is an independent consultancy with global activities. Our clients value our holistic understanding of projects, in-depth industry knowledge and hands-on approach – delivered by our highly experienced consultants. With our roots in Zurich, the Swiss values of quality, reliability and innovation are an essential part of our DNA. As experienced practitioners, our experts are committed to results that add value, to professional project management, to responsiveness and to high-quality advice focused on relevant issues.
