Management Team
Dahlen, Berg Consulting
We provide a full range of energy management consulting services.
Our consultants
develop and carry out practical solutions to our clients' energy management needs.
Trained in management, finance, engineering, economics, accounting, and law,
and often having extensive operating and general management experience, our
consultants are able to address a wide range of issues and to achieve our goal

Project Development
An outgrowth of our consulting work, we assist clients in developing power
generation and cogeneration projects. We oversee all aspects of project
development: from initial planning, procurement, and contract negotiation;
through permitting, finance, and construction; and finally, commissioning and
start-up. We frequently act as owner's representative, overseeing the work of
EPC contractors and other vendors to ensure that projects are built on-time and
on-budget and operate as intended.
Electricity Trading
To assist our municipal utility clients with their wholesale power supply
requirements, we maintain an electricity trading desk, staffed 24/7. Our
traders are active buying and selling in the hourly, day-ahead, and term energy
markets in the upper Midwest, transacting with counterparties in the MAPP, MAIN,
SPP, and WECC power pools.
