Hitachi Energy has also established itself as a supplier of grid connection solutions for alternating current (AC) offshore wind farms.

Petrofac Engineering and Construction chief operating officer Elie Lahoud said: “Offshore wind plays a crucial role in the transition to clean, affordable energy and we’ve been successfully delivering major projects in the sector for more than a decade now.

“Hitachi Energy is well-known for its long track record in providing innovative technologies and solutions across the power grid value chain.

“We look forward to bringing our industry-leading experience and deep domain knowledge together, to benefit our customers and power millions more homes using renewable energy.”

Last April, Hitachi partnered with Atlas Renewable Energy to develop and operate utility-scale level battery energy storage systems (BESS) for its renewable projects.
