About us

M2EC is a talented electrical engineering consultancy founded by Alessandro Manunza and Silvia Melis and specialised in design, analysis, and calculations about electrical power systems. We propose our services to Transmission/Distribution System Operators, utilities, large companies, and individuals too.

We offer highly qualified assistance based on our 25 years long experience and propose a computer-aided methodology to approach every phase of a project since its early stages, in order to achieve highly reliable results, to save time and resources.

We are based in Cagliari and in Milano, Italy, but we offer our services worldwide. Thanks to the IT tools, our market has not geographical limits and we can contact our customers wherever they are. If required, we move immediately to give our assistance on site.
