Quadrante completed earlier this month the acquisition of Right Analytics, a Los Angeles-based consultancy specialising in electrical transmission systems, whose clients include Google and data centre companies. It is the first of several acquisitions planned for the US market this year, the CEO of the Portuguese engineering consultancy told ECO. Quadrante closed 2025 with revenues of €122 million.
After Spain, where it acquired Meta Engineering in 2024, Quadrante is now turning to the US market, where it incorporated Quadrante US LLC in October. This month, the company finalised the acquisition of 100% of Right Analytics, founded in 2019 by Saman Babei, who in return took a stake in Quadrante US and assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer. The US operation is led by Eduardo Llorente.
Nuno Costa, CEO of Quadrante, told ECO that the acquisition fits within the group’s “growth strategy in the energy sector, particularly transmission and distribution (T&D), data centres and engineering services”. The Portuguese company does not intend to stop here.
“We are looking to acquire more companies in the US later this year that will further strengthen our position. The next acquisitions will be larger in scale,” the CEO added.
Quadrante explains that the newly named Quadrante Right Analytics “brings active contracts, tier-1 clients and a solid technical reputation with North American utilities and system operators”. Among its clients and partners are the New York Power Authority, Dominion Energy, National Grid and Southern California Edison. It also has ongoing projects with data centre developers and technology companies, including Google.
Revenue in 2025 amounted to USD 700,000, but Nuno Costa anticipates that “growth this year will be very strong, reaching USD 3.5 million”, with the company expected to close January with awarded contracts worth USD 800,000.
“Although the company is relatively small, it acts as a platform for entry and sustained growth in the US market, now leveraged by Quadrante’s global client base (such as Iberdrola, EDP and Ferrovial Energy),” the company adds.
Quadrante, which operates in the areas of energy, mobility and sustainable cities, is present in more than 25 countries, employs around 1,300 people and generated €122 million in revenue in 2025. “In 2026, we expect to close the year with revenues of €160 million, to which revenues from acquisitions in the United States will be added,” says Nuno Costa. The workforce is expected to grow to 1,650 employees.
Among Quadrante’s flagship projects in Portugal are the new Porto Metro line, the lithium battery gigafactory in Sines, the new south pier at Humberto Delgado Airport, the new Lisbon Eastern Hospital and the new Gulbenkian Modern Art Centre.
The company is owned 50.5% by its founders, including Nuno Costa, and 49.5% by the private equity fund Henko Partners.
