BP has signed an exclusive agreement with UK renewables consultancy Quaybridge to advance its global offshore wind portfolio.
As part of the agreement, members of the Quaybridge team will work closely with BP’s renewables growth business development team.
Quaybridge’s services for BP will be global in nature.
Quaybridge worked with the BP and EnBW teams and successfully won “preferred bidder” status for the Mona and Morgan Irish Sea leases in the recent UK Round 4 leasing round.
The BP/EnBW consortium and Quaybridge are participating independently in the ongoing ScotWind leasing round, which will not be in the scope of the consultancy agreement between BP and Quaybridge.
BP renewables senior vice president David Anderson said: “Investing in the right skills is critical to success.
“Quaybridge is trusted and respected in the offshore wind industry for their deep technical expertise and their entrepreneurial and agile spirit.
“We believe this partnership will give us a cutting edge in a hugely competitive industry as we look to accelerate our global portfolio and deliver our ambition to be a leader in offshore wind energy.”
