Electric Power Engineers (EPE)’s acquisition of Estudios Eléctricos expands its Latin America grid capabilities at a critical moment for regional power systems. The transaction strengthens EPE’s ability to support grid modernization as countries across the region confront rising demand, aging infrastructure, and reliability constraints.
Utilities and developers are accelerating upgrades to transmission and distribution networks while balancing cost and resilience. By integrating Estudios Eléctricos’ regional expertise, EPE deepens its technical reach across key Latin American markets.
Regional Expertise Added to Global Platform
Estudios Eléctricos will continue operating under its existing brand and leadership structure. Founded in Argentina in 2003, the firm has built a strong reputation in power system studies, grid planning, and engineering software development.
Consequently, Electric Power Engineers gains immediate access to on-the-ground capabilities across key Latin American markets. Utilities, data center operators, developers, and public-sector agencies are expected to benefit from the combined platform.
According to Stephanie Badr, CEO of Electric Power Engineers, global grid modernization depends on strong local teams. She noted that regional knowledge remains essential as energy systems grow more complex.
Clients Gain Broader Technical Reach
Meanwhile, leadership at Estudios Eléctricos emphasized continuity for existing clients. Fernando Libonati, CEO of Estudios Eléctricos, said customers will continue working with familiar teams. At the same time, access to global expertise and advanced software tools will be expanded.
As a result, data-driven decision-making is being strengthened. Project timelines can also be improved through shared engineering and advisory resources.
Broader Service Offering Across Power Systems
Together, the two firms now offer expanded services across power system planning, interconnection studies, transmission and distribution analysis, and generation modeling. In addition, support is being provided for energy storage, data center integration, and software-enabled grid solutions.
Advisory services and end-to-end project delivery are also included. Therefore, regional stakeholders gain access to a more comprehensive technical partner.
Growth Strategy Continues Globally
The Estudios Eléctricos acquisition builds on recent growth initiatives by Electric Power Engineers. Over the past year, new offices were opened in Canada, partnerships were established in the Middle East and North Africa, and global headcount surpassed 500 employees.
With the addition of Estudios Eléctricos, the company’s workforce now exceeds 650 professionals worldwide. Its Latin America presence has also been significantly expanded.
Looking ahead, Electric Power Engineers plans to continue scaling in response to global energy transition demands. As those needs evolve, the firm aims to deliver resilient, flexible, and affordable power solutions across both mature and emerging markets.
