Sweco has been selected as adviser on the Danish Energy Agency’s energy islands initiative.
Over the next nine years, Sweco will assist the Danish Energy Agency with technical advice on Denmark’s planned energy island in the North Sea, which will be one of the first of its kind.
The agreement is valued at Skr500m (€48.1m) with a cap of Skr830m.
The Danish Energy Agency’s aim for the planned energy island is to ensure that the country can harvest its unique offshore wind resources in the best possible way and establish a role model for the green transition globally.
“The energy transition is one of today’s greatest and most important challenges that is creating and will continue to create increased investment needs in many of Sweco’s core segments. It is gratifying for us to be part of this journey and contribute to this transition as a prioritised partner for the Danish Energy Agency,” said Åsa Bergman, President and CEO of Sweco.
Sweco’s support to the Danish Energy Agency’s construction of the energy island in the North Sea will include proposing concepts, preparing tender documents, examining technical solutions, evaluating tenders, and conducting inspections and quality reviews during the construction and transfer phases.
The work from Sweco involves 11 different professions and nearly 200 Sweco colleagues from six different countries.
“I am very happy and proud of Sweco being awarded this historic and vital challenge to develop one of the world’s first energy islands.
“It is a recognition of Sweco’s cross border expertise and a truly example of how we at Sweco are transforming society together with our clients,” said Dariush Rezai, Business Area President of Sweco Denmark.
