EMRC - Energy Market and Regulatory Consultants (part of MRC Group)

Energy Market and Regulatory Consultants (EMRC) are consultants and advisers in energy markets, regulation, transactions and commercial issues. We were founded in 2011 as Mercados EMI, and changed our name to EMRC in 2015. We are part of the MRC Group of Companies, a family of seven sister companies, sharing a long and common history of working together. The MRC Group of Companies has a professional team of over 55 trained consultants, with presence in nine different cities.

Our story started with our four Directors – Rahila, Alice, Robert and Ian – who used to work together at IPA Energy Consulting. In some cases, we have worked together for 20 years. When IPA took the decision to close their Edinburgh office in 2010, we agreed to form a new consultancy.

Initially were part of Mercados EMI, but we separated amicably from the group in 2015 and changed our name. Our EMRC companies in Edinburgh and in Abuja are wholly owned by our team members. New team members become shareholders through our profit-sharing scheme.

Our wider family is known as the MRC Group, established by 11 of the former partners of Mercados EMI in Europe and the two founder directors of IPA Energy Consulting in the UK. Our nine sister companies operate internationally as a single organisation sharing our team of more than 80 experts and our presence in 10 cities around the world.

We think that being owned by our team strengthens our passion for our work and helps us focus on what really matters for our clients. We hope you agree.
