Aberdeen-headquartered OEG Renewables has landed a multi-year deal with rsted covering its offshore wind projects in the north-eastern US. <\/p>\n
As part of the deal, for an undisclosed amount, OEG will provide eight portable generator sets with technician support for rsteds 132MW South Fork Wind project. <\/p>\n
The agreement gives OEG topside division exclusivity for all temporary power scopes rsted require during commissioning of their projects. <\/p>\n
OEG said temporary generators provide critical power to the turbine during commissioning activities prior to a grid connection. <\/p>\n
Wind projects also use temporary generators during operations and maintenance downtime. <\/p>\n
In addition to the South Fork Wind project, which will provide power to New Yorks Long Island, rsted is also developing the 704MW Revolution Wind project. <\/p>\n
Revolution Wind will provide power to the states of Rhode Island and Connecticut. <\/p>\n
The state governments of New York and Connecticut are targeting a 100% renewables powered electricity grid by 2040. <\/p>\n
Rhode Island is aiming to achieve the same target by 2030. <\/p>\n
OEG said the rsted deal marks a strengthening of its presence in the US offshore wind market. <\/p>\n
The groups chief executive officer John Heiton said the deal will support the expansion of offshore wind in the US and pave the way for future projects. <\/p>\n
Now operating in over 60 countries, Aberdeens OEG Group is targeting rapid expansion into the growing global offshore renewables market. <\/p>\n
Last year, the company raised $140 million (98.5 million) to pursue acquisitions in the offshore wind sector. <\/p>\n
OEG later acquired Dutch subsea and topside services firm Bluestream Offshore, and the company posted a 35% increase in revenues across 2023. <\/p>\n
The expansion push is part of OEG Renewables plans to establish itself as a UK Tier One contractor in the green energy space. <\/p>\n
