EPC Consultant

EPC Consultant

EPC stands for engineering, procurement and construction. Designates a "structured" form of "package" contracting.

In the energy area, I saw and still see the great advantages of this model, which I had the opportunity to suggest and subsequently implement for industrial, commercial and institutional clients.

1) The customer contracts and pays for a solution as opposed to buying assets.

2) The solution is delivered by those who have experience and knowledge in the area.

3) The client can then focus on its "core-business", which is super valuable!

4) Usually the delivery time and price are much more interesting/convenient than the conventional format.

Classic examples of EPC (and an equally interesting variant the BOT build, operate and transfer):

* Substations that connect high voltage to medium voltage
* Distribution lines that connect the utility to the customer
* Emergency generator sets
* Co generation
* Steam generation
*  Distributed generation

This alternative will be worth considering!
