Government-owned counterparty managing UK low-carbon electricity contracts
Low Carbon Contracts Company administers the UK's Contracts for Difference portfolio and, via ESC, Capacity Market settlements. Hiring is finance-led and accelerating, matching pain points around ERP migration, system rationalisation and manual transactional processes. A multi-cloud stack (AWS, Azure, GCP) with Databricks, Azure Synapse and Sage X3 suggests a finance and data back office being consolidated.
Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) is a government-owned body founded in 2014 and headquartered in London. It acts as counterparty to low-carbon electricity generators under the Contracts for Difference scheme, while the Electricity Settlements Company handles financial transactions and assurances for the Capacity Market. Its remit spans wind and solar and is extending to hydrogen and carbon capture, usage and storage. The organisation employs 201–500 people and hires in the United Kingdom across finance, operations, engineering, HR and legal functions.
LCCC uses Python, Django, React, TypeScript and Node.js across AWS, Azure and GCP, with Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, Databricks, Azure Synapse, Power BI and Sage X3 for finance.
