Energy M&A and strategy expert Andy Houston joins LCP Delta

LCP has appointed Andy Houston to lead the Strategy & Transactions practice for its energy transition consultancy and analytics business, LCP Delta.

Andy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in advising on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and financing across the energy sector, with over 25 years of experience, including 18 years at AFRY Management Consulting. He led AFRY’s Global Strategy Service Line and, most recently, its GB energy market practice, mainly working on transactions. Andy is a recognised leader in translating deep market insight into investment-grade due diligence.

At LCP Delta, Andy will lead the strategy and transactions practice to help operators and investors make more informed decisions. LCP Delta leverages proprietary research, forecasts and data to support commercial due diligence and strategic advice and has already supported billions of pounds of investment in the energy transition. Andy’s leadership will further LCP Delta’s mission to enable a better, faster transition by supporting clients in investing in and navigating the sector.

This appointment forms part of LCP Delta’s recent leadership updates, following the appointment of Rajiv Gogna as Head of LCP Delta earlier this summer.

Rajiv Gogna, Head of LCP Delta, commented:

“Substantial capital is required to achieve a secure, decarbonised system, and this presents a significant opportunity for investors. However, making investment decisions in the energy transition space is becoming increasingly complex, as assets operate in highly interconnected systems that are exposed to numerous policy and regulatory changes.

“LCP Delta are uniquely placed in offering energy transition investment support across the value chain, by combining commercial due diligence expertise with unparalleled research, data and forecasts across the energy transition. I’m delighted to have Andy in place to lead the team. His experience will play a crucial role in furthering the team’s work and helping LCP Delta achieve its mission.”

Andy Houston added:

“LCP Delta holds a strong reputation in the market as independent, detail-oriented experts. I am excited to join the team to support investors in making better decisions that drive more capital into the energy transition and help deliver a more secure, affordable, and decarbonised system.”
