Renewables and energy storage
The scale and ambition of renewable energy generation is advancing at a rapid pace. Whether you’re developing onshore or offshore wind, ground-based or floating solar, or a hub that combines renewable sources with storage, technology is expanding the realms of the possible.
However, as governments across the world push for decarbonization, supply chains are being stretched and competition is intensifying for key materials, equipment, and expertise, making procurement increasingly challenging.
With constrained transmission infrastructure and complex regulatory environments, you need the right expertise to navigate all these challenges and deliver projects that create a dispatchable and resilient energy supply to the grid.
What can we do for you?
We work closely with energy firms, owners, EPC contractors, investors, lenders, and governments to plan, develop, and construct renewable energy programs and projects worldwide. We’re at the forefront of technology innovation for renewables and have a world-leading capability in offshore engineering.
We can help you:
Plan with confidence
We’ll assess the feasibility of your project from every angle, helping you to choose the right site, technologies, and delivery model, provide clarity on the economics of your investment, and win approval from regulators and planning authorities.
Design optimally
We’ll ensure you have the right configuration of assets to maximize generation, meet grid and regulatory requirements, and produce a reliable and resilient supply of energy.
Deliver with certainty
We help you navigate technical, regulatory, and environmental challenges to manage construction on time and within budget.
Uncover hidden value
Using technical innovation and creative thinking, we can maximize the benefits of projects so that you can achieve the best results for your investors, bill payers, communities and the planet.
Kitakyushu Hibikinada offshore wind project, Japan. The largest privately financed offshore wind energy project in Japan provides a model for others to follow as the country strives towards net zero.
Engineering renewable energy and storage solutions
We’re experts in wind, solar, hybrid renewables, and energy storage, and we have complementary expertise in hydropower, electrical networks, hydrogen, and fuel networks.
Whatever your requirements, our experienced multidisciplinary teams can support you at every stage of the project lifecycle.
Our experience
We have worked on programs supplying more than 160 gigawatts of renewable energy worldwide, including some of the world’s landmark projects, and are helping solve major energy challenges needing novel solutions. Some of our recent work has included:
-
Block Island wind farm, Rhode Island, USAWe were the lender’s technical adviser and owner’s engineer for the first offshore wind farm in the USA, located near Rhode Island. We provided feasibility studies, conceptual design, cost estimates, public relations and permitting services for the 30MW project.
-
Future Port Talbot master plan, UKWe acted for Associated British Ports to develop a master plan showing how Port Talbot in Wales could be transformed to a prime hub for floating offshore wind, contributing to the decarbonization and socioeconomic regeneration of South Wales.
-
Hydrogen transportation hub, Tees Valley, UKWe developed a master plan for the UK’s first ever multimodal hydrogen transport hub for the Department for Transport. The hub comprises a set of facilities including green hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and refueling stations from which existing and evolving transportation networks and services can feed.
-
Kidston renewable energy hub, AustraliaWe provided an optimization study and detailed designs for this project to transform the former gold mining settlement of Kidston in Queensland into a renewable energy hub with a 250-megawatt pumped storage plant at its core.
-
Kitakyushu Hibikinada offshore wind project, JapanWe provided technical due diligence, including risk assessment, for the largest privately financed offshore wind energy project in Japan, giving investors and project developers confidence in the plans and preparing the way for delivery.
-
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park, Dubai, UAEWe provided technical advisory services to the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority on a 950-megawatt concentrated solar power and photovoltaic hybrid project in Dubai, the largest concentrated solar power project with the largest storage system globally.
-
North Sea wind power hub, EuropeWe’ve developed conceptual and outline designs, cost estimates, 3D visualizations, and schedules for this flagship program to create an offshore hub linking wind energy systems across northern Europe and enabling hydrogen production.
-
Rancho Seco solar facility, California, USABuilt on the site of a decommissioned nuclear power plant, the Rancho Seco solar plant generates more than 22,000 megawatt-hours of power each year. Our team provided load flow analysis for various generation levels, a short circuit study, a cable sizing and ampacity study, arc flash analysis, and more.
-
Tarbela hydropower and solar facility, PakistanWorking with Pakistan’s Water and Power Development Authority and the World Bank, we have provided design consultancy and contract management services for the expansion of Pakistan’s biggest hydropower facility and the addition of a 325-megawatt floating solar photovoltaic installation to help meet peak demand and increase access to renewable energy.
