In addition to the solutions already mastered at Seureca in terms of water, energy and waste management, MRC brings unique expertise in energy strategies, including decarbonization, planning and design of energy systems, and projects structuring and financing, to meet the challenges of autonomy and energy sobriety of its clients at the national and international scale. The MRC team includes energy engineers, economists, legal experts and data analysts.
In total, Seureca's energy division will have a workforce of over 70, and this new offering will cover energy efficiency, renewables, smart grids, energy storage, e-mobility and energy local loops.
