DFC Economics

DFC Economics is the economics consulting firm created in 2017 by Guido Cervigni and Luigi De Francisci. Both founders have more than 20 years of experience in the European energy sector. Guido is a former regulator, market designer and company strategist, and served as a consultant for the last ten years. Luigi served as the Director of Regulatory Affairs and Planning, as well as Executive Vice President for European Affairs at Terna S.p.A., the Italian electricity system operator. At DFC Economics, we provide state-of-the-art consulting services in the utilities sector, based on sound economics theory and the most modern data analysis techniques. Our contributions include regulatory analysis, scenario evaluations, regulatory and commercial due diligence, the design of complex contractual structures, market and tariff design and antitrust analysis. The work of our experts has been pivotal within the context of proceedings of the Italian and European regulatory bodies, DG Energy and DG Competition, as well as sociary operations, litigations and disputes. DFC Economics' partners include some of the leading international consultancy companies, and we collaborate extensively with some of the best academics in the fields of energy economics, antitrust policy and empirical analysis. We also collaborate with a leading company in electrical system modelling. These collaborations allow DFC to dispose of the adequate knowledge and skills to scale up to the most complex and multidisciplinary projects, operating at best at any scale spanning from Europe to the United States and Latin America.
