UK specialist turbine services provider RTS Wind has secured two extensive framework agreements for the provision of expert blade services for Orsted.
The two five-year deals will see RTS support the Danish manufacturer’s long-term blade care and maintenance campaigns across its entire regional portfolios in the UK, Denmark, Netherlands, and Germany.
“Our operations teams work with the utmost dedication to ensure our projects continue to be a reliable source of green energy,” said Orsted global lead category manager Michaela Gregory.
“With the often-challenging offshore conditions out at sea, blade care is a vital part of our operations and we’re delighted to be working again with RTS Wind to support both our UK and European portfolio with their solid expertise in this area.”
RTS Wind operations director John Galliford added: “Leveraging our state-of-the-art technology and industry best practices, RTS Wind successfully delivered a full blade campaign for Orsted in 2023.
From there, we were offered the opportunity to tender, and we are delighted to have now been awarded this milestone agreement, solidifying our relationship with Orsted as a long-term key partner for blade services.
“With our proven track record in the renewable energy sector, RTS Wind brings a wealth of experience and technical expertise, ensuring the seamless execution of blade services to our valued partners.
“RTS Wind’s established blade division has experienced consistent growth, and as a result, we are making substantial investments in both technology and recruitment across the service portfolio. The incorporation of innovative solutions has always underscored our dedication to efficiency and excellence, and we are excited to bring new technologies to our partners this year, including our new internal blade inspection services.”
