ONTARIO, Canada (April 15, 2025) – Electric Power Engineers (EPE), a global leader in power systems engineering, today announced the opening of two new offices in Ontario, Canada — located in Waterloo and Mississauga. These offices reinforce EPE’s commitment to the Canadian market through services and research, building on the capabilities of the team. This is aligned with the firm’s mission to accelerate the global energy transition through technical excellence and local engagement.
This growing presence in Canada reflects EPE’s focus of serving the industry in high-growth markets, accessing world-class technical talent, and fostering strategic partnerships throughout North America. The Waterloo and Mississauga offices will serve as centers of excellence, advancing collaboration across EPE’s global teams and enabling knowledge exchange to address the complex demands of modern power systems.
“Our presence in Ontario is a natural extension of our vision for global growth,” said Hugo Mena, Chief Growth Officer at EPE. “As energy systems rapidly evolve, our ability to engage locally while operating globally is more important than ever. These new offices allow us to bring our expertise closer to our clients and support their ambitious energy goals.”
Canada’s energy sector is at the forefront of decarbonization, electrification and digitalization — trends that align closely with EPE’s integrated approach to grid modernization, renewable integration, and utility transformation. The Ontario offices will also allow EPE to strengthen partnerships with regional universities, utilities and industry collaborators.
“This expansion is more than geographic — it’s a reflection of our deep commitment to Canada’s energy future,” said Mohamed Ahmed, Senior Director at EPE. “Our team is already actively engaged with clients across Canada, and we’re excited to bring more value through tailored services that support a more reliable, resilient, and affordable grid.”
“With access to top-tier technical talent and a thriving energy ecosystem, the offices are strategically located to meet the needs of clients, the industry, and future team members,” said Ahmed Rashwan, Senior Director at EPE. “They reflect our commitment to building strong, connected teams — while offering the flexibility professionals need to do their best work in a dynamic environment.”
The new offices add to EPE’s growing list of global locations. In addition to its headquarters in Austin, Texas, EPE has locations in Vancouver, B.C., Panama City, Panama, and Beirut, Lebanon — and continues to expand capacity in North and Latin America.
This expansion builds on a year of major milestones for the company. In January 2025, EPE announced a strategic investment from Berkshire Partners and introduced a new employee ownership model designed to reward employee contributions and reinforce its culture of innovation and impact. Under the leadership of CEO Stephanie Badr, EPE is executing a 2030 vision — a bold strategy for anticipating and enabling the future of the grid.
