RES has been awarded new solar operations and maintenance (O&M) contracts in the UK and Spain by The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG).
The new agreements include a five-year contract renewal covering 11 solar PV sites across the UK, totalling 121MW.
Following an independently managed competitive tender process, RES has also been awarded a new five-year contract to operate and maintain four solar sites and a substation in Cadiz, Spain, adding a further 234MW. Together, the sites generate enough clean electricity to power more than 200,000 homes.
The agreements build on a longstanding partnership between the two parties and expands RES’ European services footprint.
TRIG, a FTSE 250-listed investment company, is focused on generating sustainable returns from a diversified renewables portfolio. Since entering the Spanish market in 2021, its solar assets in Cadiz have become an important part of the portfolio, reaching operational status in 2023.
Chief executive of services at RES Juan Gutiérrez said: “We’re proud to deepen our partnership with TRIG, helping deliver long-term, sustainable performance across its portfolio.
“Recent grid disruptions in Spain highlight the growing need for advanced O&M expertise and data-driven decision-making to improve system resilience, minimise downtime and extend asset life.
“Well-maintained assets are not just more reliable and cost-effective – they also boost investor confidence and are critical to accelerating the energy transition.”
The new contracts give TRIG the opportunity to benefit from RES’ 24/7 control centre and its solar innovations including digital tools HelioLive and Optivert, which enable data-driven decisions to enhance the performance of solar assets.
TRIG managing director Minesh Shah said: “RES has been a trusted partner to TRIG from the very start, and its operational expertise continues to support our portfolio performance across Europe.
“We’re pleased to extend this relationship as we focus on reliable delivery and long-term value creation for our shareholders and stakeholders.”
