AqualisBraemar LOC (ABL) has hired Richard Abrams to launch and build a team to service the onshore renewables market, specifically onshore wind, solar and battery storage.
Abrams joins ABL as director of onshore renewables from a role as technical director of renewables and head of energy storage at global consultancy group RINA.
He has previously held roles as director of Northern Europe and director of wind at OST Energy, and wind and wave lead at Vattenfall’s East Anglia Offshore Wind.
He started his renewables career as wind analyst at Garrad Hassan (later DNV) in 2005.
Abrams said: “Onshore wind and solar are a natural extension of the ABL Group’s current presence in offshore wind and floating solar and I am hugely excited about the potential of the business.
“I am delighted to have joined the ABL Group, who are making a strong pivot to renewables and other services that support and drive the transition, and I am excited to be developing a team here in the UK and in other key markets to help achieve this.
