RES has secured a contract from NTR to operate the 25MW Castlecraig wind farm in Northern Ireland.
Castlecraig features 10 Nordex N100 turbines and is located near Drumquin in County Tyrone.
RES will provide asset management, high voltage operations, financial management, control centre operations, engineering and reporting services.
NTR also employed RES as the construction manager on the project, with support also coming from local firms, including Adman from Omagh which provided civil construction works.
B McCaffrey & Sons and Colton Quarries provided stone, with other contractors including Tracey Concrete, Mar-Train Heavy Haulage, Barton Industrial Services and Omexom.
RES head of asset management Darren Cook said: “Taking on the asset management contract at Castlecraig builds on our existing relationship with NTR and is a mark of confidence in the world-leading service we offer our clients.
“RES is looking forward to working closely with NTR to ensure the smooth running of this site and, utilising our extensive technical expertise, we will take every opportunity to maximise the output of the wind farm for our client.”
NTR director of asset management Joe Dalton said: “NTR optimises long term returns from our assets on behalf of investors in our funds. With RES, we have successfully completed the construction of Castlecraig wind farm.
“The success of the project so far can be attributed in no small part to the high levels of trust, shared values and cooperation between NTR and RES. We are therefore delighted to partner with RES for the first time in the operations phase of a project. We look forward to continued high performance from this project over the coming years.”
