SIMELEC

What SIMELEC does

SIMELEC is a Spanish multidisciplinary energy engineering company founded in 1993 and headquartered in León, Spain, with additional offices in Santiago, Chile (opened April 2010) and Guatemala City (opened 2011). The company specializes in energy audits, energy consulting, energy monitoring, consumption control, and renewable energy solutions for industrial, commercial, healthcare, retail, and public administration clients. Named customers include CARREFOUR (multi-year Spain-wide energy advisory, 2013-2016), Inditex, Repsol, Alcoa, Arcelor Mittal, Xstrata, Central Lechera Asturiana, Coren, Finsa, Cementos Cosmos, Solvay Química, Energyworks (Iberdrola), and multiple hospitals and government entities. SIMELEC claims a base of over 1,000 customers using Landis+Gyr Load Management Systems and has tracked 30,530 tonnes of cumulative CO2 emissions avoided as of November 2016.

The company's core technology stack combines proprietary software with branded partner products. SIMELEC has developed two in-house platforms: SIMWeb, a web-based energy monitoring and management application for remote measurement, management, and billing of electricity, water, and gas consumption across multiple measurement points and renewable installations; and ENERNET, a multi-energy Advanced Metering Management (AMM) solution for smart grid enablement. SIMELEC also distributes and integrates third-party technology from global leaders under formal agreements — Landis+Gyr (electricity, gas, and heat meters; communication units), Siemens Building Technologies (DESIGO INSIGHT, ACS700, Synco living), Viessmann (solar thermal collectors — Vitosol series), Climatewell (solar cooling absorption machines), SMA and Siemens (PV inverters), Kromschroeder (gas metering), Energetica (PV panels), and LG Lighting (lighting). Building automation, solar photovoltaic and thermal systems, and remote measurement/telemetry form the technical backbone.

SIMELEC operates a hybrid revenue model combining engineering services, equipment sales, managed services (remote measurement and AMM), professional services (energy consulting and audits), and subscription/recurring revenue through Technological Renting/Leasing (12-60 month equipment leases starting from €500 + VAT). Most project pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company markets through industry events and trade fairs (GENERA, Chile efficiency fairs, CIDE Congress), technology brand co-marketing, its own demonstration facilities, and direct enterprise sales. SIMELEC is privately held as Simelec S.L., with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries reported. It holds ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, and UNE 166002 R+D+i certifications and has received recognition including WEF Technology Pioneer (2007), Deloitte Green Award (2008), and The Economist European of the Year finalist (2007).
