Global Wind Projects (GWP) is eyeing expansion after completing the first of three Irish contracts worth a total of about £8.6million.
They are the first deals secured by the fledgling business across the Irish Sea.
GWP is now planning a subsidiary to service Ireland’s growing wind energy industry, according to the Press & Journal.
The company has also announced a multi-million-pound investment in a huge crane as it gears up to meet wind sector demand.
GWP is one of the portfolio companies owned by Highland entrepreneur Roy MacGregor.
It is providing installation and mechanical & electrical (M&E) completion services for German wind turbine manufacturer Nordex at onshore projects in the Irish counties of Galway, Mayo and Offaly.
The first contract at Rockgrid’s Ardderroo wind farm, in Galway, has been completed.
GWP provided installation and M&E services for 19 turbines at the 101 megawatt site.
Work at ABO Wind Ireland’s development at Sheskin, Mayo, is now under way. GWP will install five turbines there before moving onto SSE’s Yellow River site in Offaly, where it will handle the installation of 29 machines.
