WPD Windmanager has acquired a German company to expand its electrical engineering division.
The acquisition of Oltec Service in Oldenburg will enlarge WPD’s range of services in control systems and transmission technology.
Nils Brummer, WPD Windmanager managing director, said: “With Oltec’s solutions, we can expand our service and now offer our customers even more extensive support for their turbines from a single source.”
For around 20 years, Oltec has been developing systems and software to safely regulate and control wind energy and solar farms as well as substations and combined heat and power plants.
“In the field of control technology and data transmission, we are gaining tremendous expertise.
“This enables us to support the entire wind farm connection – from the wind turbine through the substation to the energy supplier,” said Oliver Klausch, WPD Windmanager head of technical management.
The acquisition of Oltec also increases WPD Windmanager’s customer base, to include further wind farm operators, managers and developers.
