Our Power and Renewables teams have also got substantial experience in delivering high-profile HVDC interconnector projects in Ireland and the UK. With an increasing focus on maximising the renewable energy utilisation, we are also embracing and have delivered numerous battery energy storage systems (BESS) projects, which are based on a green technology that eliminates electricity waste and enables excess renewable power to be stored and utilised when it’s required. Our services are delivered by an experienced in-house team of professional engineers, construction and commissioning teams, including internal SAPs approved to operate HV/MV systems.

Our scope of work focuses on electrical and civil Balance of Plant contracts. We have in-depth expertise and experience in the design & build of new contestable and non-contestable substations, as well as the refurbishment of existing substation in live environments.

We are fully accredited with Lloyds NERS, Achilles UVDB and Achilles Sellicha; we are representatives of various country-specific Wind Energy Associations and regularly contribute to industry discussion papers as a leading T&D focused contractor.
