Experience in consultancy services
Thanks to its human capital and experience, SEG Ingeniería has become a leader in the region. As a result, we have created a consulting division to work on issues related to energy, capacity building for developing energy efficiency, measurement and verification programs, as well as reports on the outcomes of energy efficiency policies for Latin America and the Caribbean. Since 2009, we have provided services to various clients, such as the National Energy Directorate, the National Industry Directorate, the Bariloche Foundation, OLADE, the International Finance Corporation (IFC-World Bank), the Governments of Belize, Guyana, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Chile, Argentina and various private clients.
