What Powertec by Upselec does

Powertec is a Chilean critical infrastructure systems integrator founded in 2004 by Richard Rebolledo (originally as Upselec, rebranded to Powertec in 2008) and headquartered in Las Condes, Santiago. The company designs, engineers, constructs, implements, maintains, and operates data centers and supporting power and cooling infrastructure for enterprise clients in Chile, with a presence extending into southern Chile and stated plans to open a northern Chile office to serve mining clients.

The company's technology stack integrates third-party equipment — primarily APC by Schneider Electric (Partner Elite status) and UNIFLAIR precision air conditioning — with in-house engineering for proprietary solutions including the SmartBunker micro data center family (SX, CX, FX variants) and Smart Shelter modular units. Core product categories span UPS systems (single-phase, three-phase, industrial), precision cooling (direct expansion, chilled water, in-row, perimeter), data center components (racks, PDUs, ATS, network cards, NETBOTZ environmental monitoring), and DCIM monitoring platforms. Powertec holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications scoped to critical data center systems, and references Uptime Institute, ICREA, and DataCenterDynamics credentials.

Powertec operates on a direct enterprise field sales model with a concentrated portfolio of high-value corporate accounts, generating revenue from professional services (design, construction, implementation, commissioning), managed services (preventive and corrective maintenance, DCIM monitoring, hot-swap interventions), and hardware sales of UPS, cooling, and data center equipment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans energy (notably Enel Green Power, for whom Powertec built the largest renewable energy control room in South America), mining, financial services, and healthcare. The company is privately held under founder ownership with no institutional capital, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core, supporting and flagship.

• APC by Schneider ElectriccoreTechnology or IntegrationPowertec is a Partner Elite of APC by Schneider Electric, one of the world's largest manufacturers of data center technology. This partnership covers design, construction, and implementation services for data center solutions. Powertec integrates APC equipment including UPS systems, precision air conditioning, racks, PDUs, ATS, network cards, fire protection systems, and DCIM monitoring platforms. APC (now Schneider Electric) provided critical early support that helped Powertec establish itself in the market.
• UNIFLAIRsupportingTechnology or IntegrationPowertec serves as a commercial and service representative for UNIFLAIR precision air conditioning solutions in Chile. UNIFLAIR products include peripheral air conditioning units (AM series) designed for smaller IT environments, offering configurations for air refrigeration, chilled water, and water-based systems.
• TecnoglobalsupportingChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorTecnoglobal is a major technology distributor in Chile that provided early support to Powertec when the company was starting out. The distributor opened doors for Powertec and believed in the company's project from its inception, providing an important boost to the company's early growth alongside APC/Schneider Electric.
• Enel Green PowerflagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerPowertec constructed the largest renewable energy control room in South America for Enel Green Power in Santiago, Chile. This facility supervises 4.7 GW of installed capacity across four renewable technologies: hydroelectric, solar, wind, and geothermal. Built to highest availability standards with data center-level specifications, the project is described as the most important milestone in the company's history, demonstrating Powertec's capabilities in complex critical infrastructure projects.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• EdgeConneX: EdgeConneX builds and operates edge data centers globally, including modular and prefabricated facilities. Relevant emerging peer for Powertec's edge/micro data center roadmap, though at materially larger scale and with carrier relationships Powertec lacks.
• Zella DC: Zella DC is an emerging provider of prefabricated and micro data center solutions designed for harsh and edge environments, conceptually similar to Powertec's SmartBunker line. Relevant comparable for the modular/edge growth thesis, particularly for mining and remote-site deployments.
• Huawei Digital Power: Huawei Digital Power offers UPS, precision cooling, modular data centers (FusionModule), and DCIM for global enterprise and telecom customers. Increasingly active in Latin America and a comparable to Powertec's modular and monitoring portfolio for enterprise and edge customers.

Broad incumbents

• Eaton: Eaton is a global power management company offering UPS systems, power distribution, and surge protection widely used in data centers and industrial facilities. Its three-phase UPS and PDU products directly overlap with Powertec's portfolio and Eaton competes in Latin American enterprise accounts.
• Schneider Electric (APC): Schneider Electric is the parent of APC and a global data center infrastructure leader spanning UPS, cooling, racks, PDUs, and EcoStruxure DCIM. It is simultaneously Powertec's key technology partner (Partner Elite) and a broad incumbent that competes for large-scale enterprise and colocation projects across Latin America.
• Delta Electronics: Delta Electronics manufactures UPS systems, PDUs, precision cooling, and DCIM software for data centers worldwide. Comparable to Powertec's product breadth and increasingly relevant in Latin America as a lower-cost alternative to Schneider and Vertiv in the same enterprise segments.
• ABB: ABB provides electrical distribution, substation automation, and power protection solutions for utility, industrial, and data center customers globally. Comparable to Powertec's electrical implementation work for critical systems, especially for utility-scale and renewable energy customers in Chile like Enel Green Power.

Direct peers

• Vertiv: Vertiv is a global leader in UPS systems, precision cooling, and DCIM monitoring for data centers and critical infrastructure. It is the most direct competitor to Powertec across UPS, in-row cooling, and monitoring—serving the same enterprise and edge use cases that Powertec addresses in Chile, often through regional channel partners.
• Stulz: Stulz is a German specialist manufacturer of precision air conditioning and cooling solutions for data centers, including perimeter, in-row, and chilled water systems—directly overlapping Powertec's UNIFLAIR-supplemented cooling portfolio. Comparable for edge and modular deployments serving similar enterprise customers.
• Rittal: Rittal is a global provider of IT infrastructure including enclosures, racks, power distribution, and cooling for data centers. Its modular and edge data center solutions (e.g., RiMatrix) compete head-to-head with Powertec's SmartBunker line for edge, micro, and modular deployments in industrial environments.
