UK provider of onshore wind crane and installation services, Global Wind Projects, has completed its first onshore wind contract in Ireland.
The company, which was created in April 2021 by Global Port Services, part of Global Energy Group, clinched contracts to provide installation and M&E completion services for long term client, Nordex, at wind farms in Galway, Mayo and Offaly.
The first of the three contracts saw Global Wind Projects provide installation and M&E services for 19 N149 turbines at the Rockgrid-owned 101MW Ardderroo Wind Farm in County Galway.
Works commenced in December 2022 and were recently completed.
Following completion of works at Ardderroo, Global Wind Projects will complete the installation of a further five onshore wind turbines for Nordex at ABO Wind Ireland’s Sheskin Wind Farm in County Mayo and 29 more at SSE’s Yellow River Wind Farm in County Offaly.
Global Wind Projects General Manager, Ryan Burke, said: “We are delighted to have made a successful first foray into the Irish market.
“At Ardderroo it was pleasing to be able to mobilise our team at short notice to assist a valued, long-term client.
“This contract, and the two follow on projects, will see us mobilise a team of 40 personnel to sites in Galway, Mayo and Offaly and in due course we will establish a separate Irish entity to service the growing market there.”
