About us

Our management team’s diverse set of skills and experience bring years of successful project development. Along with our highly skilled experts across the globe, we cover a wide range of client needs and to guide them to success.

IED Consulting LLC was born from the integration of many years of previous experiences from various geographies. In 2006, IED Armenia was established as a woman-owned consulting firm. Headquartered in Yerevan, IED Armenia provided technical assistance for 15 years in the areas of energy, water, environment, and climate change to Governments, private clients, donors, and financial institutions. Many architectural and engineering projects in the gold, energy, retail, and construction industries were successfully completed.

In parallel, IED Georgia, a consulting firm located in Tbilisi, Georgia, supported various “energy nexus” projects including renewable energy, water, and waste water projects in collaboration with United Water Services Company, facilitating cost effective water and waste service delivery throughout Georgia.

After many years of working on the ground and interacting with various stakeholders, we started to notice the gaps in the infrastructure development. A range of issues, owing to the rapidly growing world population surfaced, including the pressures in town and city infrastructures. There was an increase in demand for clean drinking water; the need for water security and water safety; the push on clean affordable energy; and concerns with resource availability.

Harbouring a vision to address these rising challenges, IED recently expanded its family of companies, with the opening up of IED Consulting LLC in the US. We leverage on extensive experience to build a future with clean energy and clean water. Being privately owned and independent, we are able put our full focus on delivering added value for our clients and addressing those most pressing challenges faced by societies today.

It is our passion to better the quality of life, worldwide. This is the drive we wake up to every morning.
