1. LinkedIn Recommendations
"Marcelo is one of the most professional and multitask Engineers I have worked with in several energy
(Thermal, hydro, solar) commissioning and field service jobs. His deep knowledge of technology and
operational issues has been extremely valuable for our projects. Most importantly Marcelo is not just a solid
engineer but a solutions focused advisor that adds value to a deal not just by writing a report but by being in
the middle of deals and providing valuable insights."
— Carlos Ortega, was with another company when working with Marcelo
"It is my pleasure to recommend Marcelo Cotroneo as an expert consultant in renewable energy and electric
power distribution. I worked closely with him for more than a year as his client in a consultancy that studied
the cost competitiveness of geothermal power plants -which could be installed in Peru- against existing
natural gas plants and coal-fired plants. I have found him extremely competent and enjoyable to work
with. He is dependable and with excellent analytical, creative and team player skills. Among his many
accomplishments, he suggested and evaluated the convenience of using advanced Organic Rankine Cycle
(ORC) technology, as an efficient mean of exploiting low to moderate enthalpy geothermal resources, to
generate and distribute cost competitive electricity. Marcelo has my unqualified professional endorsement
and my deep personal respect."
