Inforse Energia

What Inforse Energia does

Inforse Engenharia, doing business as Inforse Energia, is a Brazilian electrical engineering consultancy founded in 1985 by engineer Jesus Claudio Thomé (CREA-SP 060.142.736-D) and headquartered in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo. The firm delivers four specialized service lines: (1) ICMS tax credit laudos enabling companies in Lucro Real or Lucro Presumido tax regimes to recover ICMS credits on industrial electricity consumption, with retroactivity up to 60 months; (2) photovoltaic solar energy engineering for residential, commercial, and rural clients; (3) NR-10 electrical safety compliance documentation (Prontuário das Instalações Elétricas, single-line diagrams, SPDA assessments) for companies with installed loads above 75 kW; and (4) CBPMESP fire department technical reports (IT-41) required for AVCB approval. All deliverables require a personally signed ART (Anotação de Responsabilidade Técnica) by a licensed electrical engineer, embedding regulatory accountability into every engagement.

The firm's business model is professional services consulting fees, priced per engagement through personalized quotes rather than published rates. Customer acquisition runs entirely through direct sales channels — primarily WhatsApp and telephone, with the website serving as both informational content and a lead capture mechanism. There are no intermediaries, resellers, or marketplace listings. The firm claims 3,000+ clients served and 3,000+ laudos issued across more than 20 Brazilian states, with named enterprise references including Aptiv, Continental, Camil, Ouro Fino, Kodilar, Café Cimo, and Tridico.

The company operates as a privately-held, founder-led micro-consultancy with a headcount of 5, no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. Technology stack is non-software: no proprietary platform, no API, no integrations, and no AI/ML capabilities — the core asset is the personal professional license and 40-year domain reputation of the founding engineer. The website (inforseenergia.com.br) and WhatsApp number (17) 99624-0361 are the primary commercial interfaces.

Revenue model

1. ICMS Tax Credit Recovery Consulting: Specialized consulting services for companies in Lucro Real and Lucro Presumido tax regimes, enabling the recovery of ICMS credits on industrial electricity consumption. Services include the preparation of technical reports (laudos) quantifying electricity used in productive processes, converting consumption into Technical Indices (IT) that support accounting ICMS entries. Credits can be retroactive for up to 5 years (60 months). Revenue is generated through consulting fees for laudo preparation and technical analysis.
2. Solar Energy Engineering Consulting: Full-service solar energy consulting including technical analysis, custom project design, and installation oversight for photovoltaic systems. Services cover residential, commercial, and rural segments. Revenue is earned through project fees and consulting engagements, with pricing varying by system size and customer need.
3. NR-10 Electrical Safety Compliance: Norma Regulamentadora 10 (NR-10) compliance consulting for companies with installed electrical load above 75 kW. Services include electrical installation audits, documentation (Prontuário das Instalações Elétricas), single-line diagrams, SPDA (lightning protection) assessments, and ART issuance. Revenue generated through compliance assessment and documentation service fees.
4. Fire Department Technical Report (CBPMESP): Technical evaluation reports (Relatório Técnico) for compliance with IT-41 of CBPMESP (Fire Department of São Paulo State), required for obtaining or renewing the AVCB (Auto de Vistoria do Corpo de Bombeiros). The report evaluates electrical installation safety conditions, identifies non-conformities, and prescribes necessary adaptations. Revenue earned through technical report preparation fees signed by an electrical engineer with ART.

Emerging players

• GreenYellow Brasil: Brazilian energy efficiency consultancy (originally a Casino Group subsidiary) offering energy audits, efficiency consulting, and solar solutions to commercial and industrial clients. Comparable to Inforse's ICMS-related efficiency consulting and solar energy engineering services for industrial customers, though with a larger installed footprint.

Broad incumbents

• ENGIE Brasil: Major French-Brazilian energy company providing a wide portfolio of energy services including efficiency consulting, solar solutions, and industrial energy services to B2B clients. Comparable to Inforse in addressing industrial customers' energy-efficiency and electrical compliance needs, though at much larger enterprise scale.
• TÜV Rheinland Brasil: Brazilian operations of the German certification body, providing electrical safety testing, industrial inspections, and compliance certification services. Comparable to Inforse's electrical compliance offerings (NR-10, CBPMESP) though as part of a global portfolio across many industries.
• SGS Brasil: Swiss testing, inspection, and certification multinational with substantial Brazilian operations providing industrial inspection, electrical testing, and compliance services. Comparable to Inforse in the industrial compliance and electrical inspection space, though at much larger scale.
• Bureau Veritas Brasil: Brazilian arm of the global testing, inspection, and certification giant, offering electrical safety testing, industrial inspection, and compliance audits. Comparable because it overlaps with Inforse's NR-10 and CBPMESP compliance documentation, though at much larger scale and broader scope.
• DNV Brasil: Norwegian classification and certification society with Brazilian operations providing energy, industrial, and electrical safety certification and advisory services. Comparable to Inforse in the energy/electrical compliance advisory domain, especially for industrial clients.
