Corporate Profile
Heller Energy International
Vision:
Energy is a critical vector for the economic growth of nations and the wellbeing of their
populations. However, in the 21st century humankind is fully aware of the environmental, geostrategic and
economic problems that inefficient management of energy resources can bring. Today, technology and
know-how regarding energy systems is sufficiently advanced to provide us with solutions that guarantee
efficient and sustainable energy systems. This development means that, in all probability, our methods of
generating, distributing and selling energy will undergo a dramatic transformation throughout the century to
come.
Mission:
Heller Energy International is a Spanish company that aims to help improve access to energy for the
global population. Our human capital boasts a wealth of experience in the energy and environment
sector. Spain has been a pioneer in applying many energy policies (such as those on renewable energies)
which contribute to improving energy systems around the world: from the electrification of large areas with
no access to energy, to the improvement of existing systems that are inefficient and polluting.
Objetives:
We at Heller Energy International offer our clients experience and services based on three cross-cutting
areas: consulting, engineering and project implementation, with a continuous focus on the energy and
environment sector. Our capacities range from a generalist focus, such as that required for zone-based
energy planning, to the specific expertise required to (for example) operate a power plant. Our desire is to
make this wealth of experience available to our clients around the world, particularly those in emerging and
developing countries.

Consulting:
Technical: This service is for proprietors, future purchasers or financial entities that require an analysis and
evaluation of a project, using a method that exacts the technical valuation, which can evaluate the viability, its
production or commercial growth possibilities.
Regulatory: This consulting service is for the purpose of analyzing the activities regulating the transport, operation
and technical management of an electric or gas system. The service takes into respect the contexts of the market and
the incentive schemes , including an analysis of the regulatory setting and the actual situation of the country and an
evaluation of the action plan for renewable energies by providing recommendations and analysis.
Sustainable: Assessment in obtaining equilibrium between the three basic elements that stimulate progress,
development, and well-being of a region: economic growth, social cohesion and preservation of the environment.
Energy efficiency and savings being the key vector for long-term sustainability.
Services
Implementation:
Turnkey: Within a turnkey the project is carried out in a global manner, until the basic and specific technical design
criteria is determined with the client. Apart from that moment the responsibility of the detailed engineering,
procurement, construction, start-up operations, legalization and entry to client is assumed.
PMO: From the perfect understanding of the client’s needs to always maintaining the complete vision of the project
