The limited liability company ‘’Latvijas Energoceltnieks’’ was formed in May 1992, from the privatized state power construction company LATESA. All the specialists, who have been working in the company from the very beginning, have a long work experience, modern work technology, and closely cooperate with our partner companies in Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, Norway, as well as using the Western technology and equipment possibilities available in Latvia.

In order to ensure the development of the company and its competitiveness under market economy conditions, the material and technical basis is continuously upgraded with new, modern Western equipment, machinery and technology.

Every year not only turnover and the number of employees increases, but also the volume of the work. Recently, besides overhead power transmission line construction, substation construction, assembling works, which from the very beginning have been the main areas of activities, such new and modern fields have been acquired as the construction of telecommunications networks, installation

of wind generators, installation of fibre optic cables, and the building of a mobile telecommunications network. The company carries out its work not only in Latvia but also abroad - Germany, Georgia, Ghana; and in the near future the activities are envisaged in other countries of the world, too.
