RES has signed a strategic alliance agreement with Rix Renewables to jointly seek opportunities in the UK and Ireland’s offshore wind market.
The partnership is primarily designed to help deliver operation and maintenance services for the offshore wind farms RES manages and operates.
Under the terms of the deal, Rix will provide vessels and technicians to complement RES’ own asset management, technicians engineering and operational control staff.
RES head of offshore Rob Fradley said: “This alliance will help both companies accelerate investment in offshore wind projects by freeing up additional resources and pooling our combined market experience.
“Both companies bring strong track records of delivering excellent results in the offshore market and we look forward to collaborating on future projects.”
Rix Renewables managing director James Doyle said: “As a trusted supplier to the offshore wind industry, we have worked with RES on a number of projects over recent years.
“This has highlighted the close synergies between the two organisations and has led to the decision to consolidate our working relationship via a strategic alliance.
“We are delighted to put our partnership on this new footing as it will enable us collaborate more closely in delivering safe and scalable solutions to the offshore sector.”
