Renewables developer RES has taken over operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts for six wind farm sites from Ainscough Wind Energy Services.
The move secures nine jobs in rural England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The announcement comes a few weeks after RES announced the acquisition of REG Power Management’s asset management business, and with its contracts to manage a portfolio of 43 operational wind and solar projects.
RES’ renewable energy support services portfolio now tops 5GW, with further growth expected throughout 2019.
RES support services managing director Ian Hunter said: “Along with these five-year contracts we have acquired an excellent team of skilled technicians based in key areas around the UK.
“The team, along with our workshop which has the ability to re-engineer universal tools, allows us to offer a very competitive service to wind farm operators and asset owners.
“We plan to use this acquisition as a springboard to significantly grow our O&M business.”
