What Ecotechne does

Ecotechne is a privately held Brazilian engineering services firm headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná, founded in 2010 with a mission oriented around the energy transition. The company delivers specialized engineering for renewable generation (solar, wind, BESS), transmission infrastructure (substations up to 500 kV, transmission lines), data centers, and medium-voltage networks, alongside electrical studies (power flow, short-circuit, protection, power quality, electromagnetic transients, curtailment) and environmental intelligence (strategic licensing, feasibility, regulatory support). Service delivery uses BIM methodology and industry-standard power-systems software rather than proprietary platforms. In 2024, Ecotechne consolidated three previously separate entities—Ecotechne (engineering), Ambius (environmental), and Onflow (electrical studies)—into a single integrated structure designed to eliminate discipline fragmentation across feasibility, access permitting, design, and licensing phases.

The company serves enterprise customers in Brazil and selectively in international markets. Its 65-person team has engineered 100+ substations, 6,000+ km of transmission lines, 11+ GW of solar capacity, 10+ GW of wind capacity, and 80 distributed-generation projects totaling 150 MW. Named customers include tier-1 developers and utilities such as Enel, Engie, AES Brasil, EDF, Neoenergia, Statkraft, BP Lightsource, Canadian Solar, Copel, and CPFL. Internationally, Ecotechne has executed 1+ GW of photovoltaic projects in Portugal within its first year of entry and is developing projects in Mozambique, Angola, and the United States.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees on a custom-quoted, project-by-project basis with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting energy developers, investors, and transmission utilities for multi-phase engagements spanning feasibility studies through executive design, environmental licensing, and owner engineering. Commercial engagement occurs via direct outreach, WhatsApp, and email rather than self-service channels. Marketing relies on a website, Instagram presence, and a project-portfolio/case-study positioning rather than performance channels.

Core offering

Ecotechne provides integrated engineering services for energy infrastructure projects, covering substation design (up to 500kV), transmission lines, renewable energy generation (solar and wind), BESS energy storage, and data centers. The company combines electrical engineering, electrical studies, and environmental licensing/environmental intelligence under a single structure, delivering projects from feasibility studies through executive design, construction supervision, and environmental licensing.

Product overview

Ecotechne is an integrated engineering services company that consolidated expertise from Ecotechne, Ambius, and Onflow into a unified structure. The company offers three core service pillars: Engineering Projects (substations up to 500kV, transmission lines, solar/wind generation, BESS, data centers), Electrical Studies (flow margin, access opinions, steady-state and transient studies, power quality), and Environmental Studies (licensing, waste management, regulatory support). Projects are delivered using BIM methodology with full lifecycle support from feasibility studies through construction supervision.

Broad incumbents

• Worley: Global energy, chemicals, and resources engineering firm with significant renewable and power transmission capabilities. Larger and more diversified but competes in Brazil and internationally for the same engineering mandates.
• Burns & McDonnell: US-based engineering, architecture, and consulting firm with a strong transmission, substation, and renewables practice. Comparable engineering scope (substations up to EHV, renewable plant design) though serving primarily the US market.
• WSP Global: Global engineering consultancy with a large Power & Energy practice covering renewables and transmission. Broader scope than Ecotechne but competes directly for utility-scale renewable engineering contracts in Latin America.
• Afry (formerly Pöyry): Nordic-origin global engineering consultancy with extensive hydropower, wind, and transmission expertise. Larger and more international but operates in the same engineering services market, including Latin America.
• Tractebel (Engie): Global engineering consultancy owned by Engie, with a large renewable energy and grid practice. Broader portfolio and global footprint but directly competes in the same wind/solar/BESS engineering services market as Ecotechne.

Direct peers

• Sargent & Lundy: US-headquartered power engineering firm with deep expertise in substations, transmission, and generation design. Comparable as a pure-play power-focused engineering services provider with similar technical scope to Ecotechne.
• THEMAG Engenharia: Brazilian engineering firm specialized in power generation, transmission, and industrial projects. Closely matches Ecotechne's renewable-and-transmission design scope and customer segments in Brazil.
• Power Engineering Services (PES): North American power systems engineering firm focused on substations, transmission, and generation studies. Directly comparable scope of electrical studies, protection coordination, and grid interconnection services.
