Aims and Objectives
The LEG is a City networking group which
represents professionals with an interest in
the energy sector. It seeks to provide a neutral
platform for the debate of topical energy related
issues through seminars. The group aims to host
at least four seminars a year in the City of
London (Click

The focus of the group is the broad spectrum of energy supply from traditional
fossil fuels to alternative energy and includes nuclear energy, power generation
and technology.
The Group is non-profit making and seminars are funded by sponsors. Members are
asked for a nominal annual subscription fee to cover administration costs. Attendance
at seminars is free to members.
Members of the LEG are drawn from:
• Institutional Investors
• The Energy Industry
• Corporate Finance
• Stockbrokers’ analysts
• Academic Community
• Energy Associations
The Group is co-ordinated by a committee who all have a strong interest in the
energy sector either through fund management, research, public relations or the
industry (Click here for ‘Biographies’).
Buchanan Communications is responsible for the administration of the Group. (Click

The Group encourages comments from potential and existing members on its future
development and welcomes suggestions for the themes of future seminars. It is
also interested in hearing from potential sponsors of future events. (Click

History of the LEG
The London Oil Analyst Group (“LOAG”) was formed in the late 70’s
as a forum for the oil and gas industry to meet City analysts. Initially this
took the form of a City Lunch Club but as the membership expanded this evolved
into evening seminars followed by an opportunity to network over drinks. Membership
reached its peak in the late 80’s/early 90’s but then tailed off
due to the consolidation of the E & P sector and the associated reduction
in the size of the analyst community. Faced with the closure of the Group in
2001, the committee decided to re-launch the group extending membership to other
City followers and expanding the focus of the Group. The London Energy Group
was formed in September 2001 with the launch of its first seminar, The 1st Annual
Alternative Energy Seminar. Since then, the Group has successfully hosted a number
of successful seminars in the City.
