MRTS Consultoria e Engenharia

What MRTS Consultoria e Engenharia does

MRTS Consultoria e Engenharia Ltda. is a privately-held Brazilian energy consulting firm founded on October 30, 1990, and headquartered in São Paulo. The company provides specialized advisory and decision-support services to the Brazilian electricity sector, serving generation companies, distribution utilities, energy traders, regulators (ANEEL, ONS), industry associations (ABRAGE, APINE), and multilateral institutions (World Bank, GIZ). The firm has completed over 100 consulting projects and 35 R&D projects across nearly 35 years of operation, with a track record that includes co-authoring Brazil's foundational electricity sector regulatory framework (Laws 10.847 and 10.848, 2003-2004).

The company's core offering is a portfolio of 13 products spanning energy portfolio optimization, contract portfolio optimization, bilateral contract pricing, electricity tariff projection, static balance projection, investment analysis and business models, corporate valuation, PLD/ENA/wind/solar scenario analysis, regulatory studies, physical guarantee seasonalization optimization, custom tool development, decision systematization for energy commercialization, and training programs. It also publishes three technical books on financial security in electricity markets, peak capacity expansion, and environmental integration in energy planning. Underlying these offerings are proprietary computational models employing genetic algorithms, neural networks, clustering of natural energy inflows, and stochastic optimization techniques — combined with the senior partners' 30-40+ years of direct sector experience and active academic positions at USP's Escola Politécnica.

The business model is relationship-driven, project-based professional services delivered directly to enterprise clients without intermediaries, with custom pricing per engagement. The firm has expanded selectively into international Latin American markets (Venezuela, El Salvador, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Mexico) and adjacent verticals including solar-storage-hydro integration, distributed generation, and climate adaptation consulting. Revenue is generated through consulting fees, R&D project contracts, and book/publication sales, with the GTM motion anchored in the senior partners' industry reputation, regulatory relationships, and academic credentials rather than traditional sales or marketing.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture Energy: Global consulting arm serving utilities and energy traders on digital transformation, analytics, and commercial optimization. Increasingly competing with niche specialists like MRTS on energy analytics and trading optimization engagements.
• ICF International: Global consulting firm with a significant energy and environment practice, advising utilities, regulators, and multilateral clients on market design, regulation, and energy planning. Comparable to MRTS in energy regulatory and market design advisory, though at significantly larger scale and broader sector breadth.
• Wood Mackenzie: Global energy research and consultancy covering upstream, power, and renewables markets, with deep presence in Latin American power markets. Comparable as a high-end commercial intelligence provider for energy sector decision-makers, though operating at much larger scale and broader scope than MRTS.
• Tractebel Engineering (Engie): Large global engineering consultancy within the Engie group active in generation, transmission, and energy planning projects across Latin America. Comparable to MRTS in energy systems consulting scope but at much greater scale and broader geographic footprint.

Emerging players

• Comerc Energia: Brazilian energy trader and commercialization platform that has expanded into analytics and digital energy services for the free market. Overlaps with MRTS in PLD forecasting, portfolio optimization, and free-market commercial decision support, though its primary business is energy trading.

Direct peers

• Thymos Energia: Brazilian consulting firm specialized in electricity market regulation, tariffs, and commercial optimization for generators, distributors, and large consumers. Highly comparable to MRTS in terms of niche energy regulation focus and Brazil-only footprint.
• PSR: Brazilian energy consulting firm (Power Systems Research) providing market design, price forecasting (Newave/Decomp-based), and regulatory advisory to the Brazilian electricity sector. Closest direct peer to MRTS in terms of client base (ANEEL, CCEE, generators), methodology (optimization + stochastic models), and boutique consulting model.

Regional players

• EPE (Empresa de Pesquisa Energética): Brazilian government energy research and planning agency responsible for long-term energy expansion planning. While a public-sector institution rather than a consultancy, EPE is comparable in the sense that it produces the planning studies, methodologies, and scenarios MRTS advises clients against.
