Consultation analysis is an essential part of how governments and regulators gather and interpret evidence for policy decisions. MCC Economics supports this process by analysing public and stakeholder submissions at speed, with accuracy, independence, and rigour. Our work helps departments identify the substance of stakeholder views, assess the strength of supporting evidence, and ensure that responses are represented objectively. Each project is delivered with full auditability, so findings can be defended under scrutiny.
We analyse consultations of all sizes - from targeted calls for evidence to large-scale exercises with tens of thousands of submissions. Our framework draws on experience from multiple government assignments and uses structured methods to review, categorise, and synthesise responses. We apply both quantitative and qualitative analysis to surface trends, points of consensus, and areas of contention, ensuring that the evidence base is clear, consistent, and complete.
Our team includes economists, consultation specialists, data analysts, and sector experts with direct experience in energy, environment, markets, and infrastructure policy.Projects are managed through agreed milestones and regular client engagement, providing transparency on progress and alignment with departmental objectives.Every output is independently reviewed and quality-assured before submission.
Our carefully chosen team embodies a culture of working together, emphasizing that teamwork is not just an idea but a fundamental part of our success.

I am delighted to recommend MCC Economics. Specifically, I worked closely with PJ, who helped us with our Nuclear and CCUS projects. PJ helped us develop new policies and answer questions from our stakeholders. His support helped us deliver important changes and improvements, to the benefit of our stakeholders.
MCC Economics has helped us better understand the most important issues for our stakeholders, including: charges, shareholder returns, debt payments and inflation impacts.
I am delighted to recommend PJ and his team at MCC Economics. We've been working together on National Policy Statements to help meet net zero targets for 2030 and 2050. We initially appointed to support us on offshore wind consultation analysis and have recently reappointed MCC Economics to undertake a larger consultation analysis role across all sectors, including hydrogen, CCUS and networks. I can confirm that PJ and his team have shown excellent spreadsheet skills, alongside very good project management, planning and analysis skills, helping us deliver important changes, and continuous improvements, to the benefit of our stakeholders.
I am delighted to recommend PJ and his team from MCC Economics. They helped us with our price controls for Heathrow airport and for NATS (En Route) plc (the air traffic services provider). Specifically, the MCC team helped us deliver important changes and improvements to our financial models and supporting policy documents, to the benefit of our stakeholders.
I am delighted to confirm that I worked with PJ on a retail project in 2015. The project helped stakeholders understand electricity costs and charges. Specifically, the project helped us explain to stakeholders, internally and externally, why electricity charges differed across the regions (GB, NI & Ireland). PJ was a key member on the project team, which helped deliver changes and improvements in the understanding of energy retail.
