Marcelo Meza Granados

Marcelo Meza Granados is a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in the design, engineering, and project coordination of high-voltage (HV) and extra-high-voltage (EHV) substations and transmission lines. With nearly a decade of experience across leading Latin American energy infrastructure firms, he possesses deep technical expertise in developing Air Insulated Substations (AIS), Gas Insulated Substations (GIS), and hybrid configurations up to 500 kV. His core competencies encompass basic and detailed engineering, CAPEX optimization, grounding system design, and ensuring strict compliance with international and regional standards such as IEEE 80 and RETIE. Within the onshore wind and renewable energy supply chain, Marcelo plays a critical role in facilitating robust grid connections and integrating generation assets into the broader power system. His project lifecycle experience includes structuring technical requirements, evaluating EPC and supplier bids, and conducting quality assurance during the construction, assembly, and commissioning phases. He is highly proficient in overseeing technical specifications for substation equipment, ensuring reliability and performance for utility-scale infrastructure. Beyond his technical engineering foundation, Marcelo brings a strong commercial and strategic perspective to infrastructure projects. Supported by an Executive MBA and a Master's degree in Energy Regulation, he integrates an understanding of energy markets, regulatory frameworks, and project feasibility into his designs. This multidisciplinary background enables him to successfully balance technical rigor with cost, risk, and long-term asset performance.
