LMENG
Elevating Power Transmission

The introduction of power transmission auctions in the early 2000s proved to be a pivotal element in Brazil’ssecond wave of energy reform. The initiation of energy auction process in the following years ensured a steady supply of renewable energy. It demonstrated to the world the power of innovation and the potential of competitive pricing to make sustainable energy a reality for all.

LMENG has been leading critical power transmission and generation projects since this transformative shift took place in the energy sector.

Brazil's largest renewable energy consulting company, it provides essential design services, executive project certification, construction management, on-site assembly supervision and general technical consultancy. LMENG is also an advisor in mergers and acquisitions and an independent engineer for financing institutions. Its comprehensive suite of strategies steers partners through the complexities of project planning and construction stages.

“Our expertise in the power transmission sector is deeply rooted in a rich history, which reflects our unmatched depth of knowledge and serves as a testament to our unwavering dedication to advancing the standards of the industry,” says Rodrigo Yuji, partner.

As an owner’s engineer, LMENG has supported the implementation of more than 9.2 GW of wind farms, 5 GW of thermoelectric plants, 6.5 GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, over 3,500 km of high-voltage transmission lines and 10 GVA of substations.

It delivers exceptional service quality, from project inception to completion, by prioritizing continuous oversight. A meticulous approach ensures that the progress of each project is accurately gauged to foster a transparent relationship.

Ensuring compliance with local regulatory frameworks can pose a significant challenge for foreign investors and corporations. LMENG streamlines this process through close collaboration. Its expertise extends to ensuring complete compliance with key governmental regulatory bodies, including the ANEEL (National Electric Regulatory Agency) initiative and the ONS (National Grid Operator). LMENG distinguishes itself from competitors through a proactive approach to liaising with utilities and grid operators, who are crucial stakeholders in every project. From the onset of each initiative, it prioritizes establishing direct lines of communication with these entities. This helps accelerate the pace of project development and ensures that any issues that may arise can be addressed promptly and efficiently.

LMENG's dedication to this approach was evident in a recent project involving the integration of a static VAR compensator into the ONS. The project required meticulous coordination and collaboration with the national grid operator. It planned and scheduled necessary equipment tests in collaboration with the operator. Through diligent communication and coordination, the company was able to adhere to the project timeline and successfully secured the client’s entry into commercial operation by the targeted date.

LMENG’s operations are powered by a multidisciplinary, in-house team of 130 skilled professionals, most of whom specialize in electrical and civil engineering. The dedicated team operates from strategically located offices in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and various project sites spread throughout Brazil.

At the core of LMENG's organizational structure are six partners focused on the detailed aspects of engineering to guarantee that the technical solutions proposed and implemented are up to standards. They also oversee the planning, execution and completion of projects to ensure they are delivered on time, within budget and aligned with client specifications. Through this structured approach, each project benefits from the collective expertise and attention of the leadership team.

LMENG is currently focused on developing advanced projects in Brazil, including green hydrogen plants and floating PV systems. It continues to build upon its storied legacy and eagerly anticipates embracing new challenges, confident in its ability to achieve success in the coming years.
