Aberdeen-headquartered PD&MS Group has secured a three-year operations and maintenance (O&M) contract with Vattenfall to support its European offshore wind portfolio.
The contract, which also has options to extend for a further two-year period, will see the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning firm providing a range of support across the developer’s wind farms in the UK, Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.
This award builds on its delivery of several onshore and offshore wind projects for clients including SSE Renewables and Moray East Offshore Windfarm.
PD&MS currently employs around 550 in Scotland and 100 overseas, with operations in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Azerbaijan.
Thomas Barter, head of renewables business development at PD&MS, said: “This new contract solidifies PD&MS’ position as a key supplier for future wind developments, such as ScotWind and other future European projects.”
The firm’s energy transition credentials have grown in the past few years and it was recently granted ORE Catapult’s Fit 4 Offshore Renewables status.
The programme was developed to help the UK supply chain to reconfigure and deliver services in the offshore renewable energy sector. In the last 12 months, the business has also acquired low carbon engineering company Synergie Environ and front-end consultancy Optimus.
Mark Davidson, project director and energy transition leader at PD&MS, added: “We have an extensive track record for delivering innovative and cost-effective project solutions which have proven to reduce cost and maximise asset uptime to create significant ongoing value within the offshore renewable energy sector.”
PD&MS was founded in 2002 and is owned by private equity firm Inflexion, which completed a secondary buyout in 2014.
