Icase Potencia

What Icase Potencia does

ICASE Potencia is a Mexican specialized electrical engineering services firm headquartered in San Luis Potosí, operating since 2018 with a team of 12 employees. The company delivers engineering, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance services for electrical substations and high-voltage power systems, serving the generation, transmission, and industrial sectors across Mexico and the southern United States. Its portfolio is organized into four service lines: Mantenimiento (preventive and corrective maintenance of substations and high-voltage networks, including primary equipment servicing and on-site dielectric oil degasification and filtration), Proyectos IAC (turnkey EPC delivery from conceptual and detailed engineering through procurement, civil construction, electromechanical assembly, control and protection system integration, and commissioning), Protección, Control y Medición (functional and secondary testing of protection relays, configuration and parameterization, SCADA integration, and FAT/SAT testing), and a Dielectric Oil Laboratory providing physicochemical analysis and dissolved gas chromatography (DGA) for transformer condition diagnostics.

The technical foundation rests on conventional power-systems engineering — high-voltage equipment diagnostics, protection relay testing, SCADA integration, and transformer fluid analysis — rather than on software or AI platforms. The company makes money through project-based professional services contracts, with custom quotations per engagement and no public pricing; revenue is generated from EPC projects, recurring maintenance, and laboratory diagnostics. Distribution is direct on-site service delivery rather than channel-based, with mobilization coordinated from the San Luis Potosí headquarters, which the company positions as a logistical advantage for nationwide Mexico and southern US coverage.

The customer base is unusually broad for the firm's size, featuring publicly listed logos including CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad), Pemex, BMW, Acciona, EDF, Enel, Engie, Vestas, Dominion Energy, Sempra Energy, SPIC, Mitsui & Co., Ingeteam, Aldesa, Elecnor, OHL, TSK, and Prodiel, spanning utilities, oil & gas, automotive, renewable energy, steel, and EPC contractors. The company is privately held, founder-led under CEO Elihu Vidales Cerda, with no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, M&A activity, or partnerships in the source data.

Core offering

ICASE Potencia is a specialized engineering services company that delivers project-based power infrastructure work for electrical substations and high-voltage equipment. Its core offerings span four service lines: preventive and corrective maintenance of substations, turnkey EPC (IAC) project execution from conceptual engineering to commissioning, Protection, Control and Measurement (PCyM) systems services including relay testing and SCADA integration, and a dielectric oil laboratory providing dissolved gas chromatography (DGA) and physicochemical analysis for transformer diagnostics.

Product overview

ICASE Potencia is a specialized engineering and services company offering an integrated portfolio of electrical infrastructure services. The core offering consists of four main service lines: Mantenimiento (Maintenance) providing preventive and corrective maintenance for electrical substations including primary equipment, specialized electrical testing, and oil degasification/filtration; Proyectos IAC (EPC Projects) delivering complete electrical infrastructure development from conceptual engineering through commissioning and turnkey delivery; Protección, Control y Medición (PCyM) offering specialized protection relay testing, SCADA integration, configuration services, and FAT/SAT testing; and a Laboratorio de Aceites Dieléctricos (Dielectric Oil Laboratory) providing physicochemical analysis and dissolved gas chromatography (DGA) for transformer diagnostics. These services are offered as a unified portfolio addressing the complete lifecycle of electrical substations and power systems for generation, transmission, and industrial sectors.
