Wind energy

Wind energy advisory and wind farm engineering services supporting onshore and offshore wind development, from feasibility and planning through design, delivery, grid connection and long-term asset optimisation.
Wind continues to play a major role in clean energy supply, set to drive almost one-third of global renewable electricity growth through 2030. As energy systems place greater emphasis on resilience and sovereignty, wind also supports stronger energy independence by enabling reliable, domestically generated power.

We partner with developers, contractors, financial institutions, equipment vendors, communities and regulatory bodies to deliver tailored wind energy solutions across global markets. Our teams support projects across the full lifecycle, from early market entry and strategic planning through to design, delivery, operations, asset optimisation, repowering and decommissioning. We bring this capability to both onshore and offshore wind projects, with a focus on safety, efficiency and outcomes that help clients navigate complexity and create long-term value.

Unlocking the power of wind 

We are proud to have supported some of the world’s most ambitious wind energy projects, helping accelerate delivery across a range of markets and regulatory settings. Our focus is on enabling progress through early and proactive engagement with stakeholders and communities. This approach aligns project strategies with energy transition priorities and infrastructure roadmaps, supporting delivery today while strengthening long-term market confidence.

Our integrated services across the wind project journey

From site selection and feasibility through to design, construction and operational performance, we provide integrated technical, planning, advisory and delivery capabilities that support every stage of your wind project lifecycle. Our delivery phase and construction management services offer a comprehensive range of offerings for varying wind farm delivery models including split contract arrangements.
