UK-based offshore wind services provider Venterra Group's Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions (GDG) has entered a strategic partnership with ABAN Power from India.

The collaboration aims to expedite the development and execution of offshore wind projects, as well as marine and offshore structures in India and the Asia-Pacific region.

The alliance will focus on promoting clean energy solutions and expanding service capabilities, especially within India's offshore wind sector.

The partnership between GDG and ABAN Power combines their respective expertise and resources.

The collaboration is set to support the country’s goal of reaching 500GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

It is anticipated that the alliance will enable the introduction of advanced expertise and innovative solutions into India's renewable energy landscape.

Venterra global offshore director Indrasenan Thusyanthan stated: “Over a year ago, I identified clear priorities to expand the Venterra Group’s presence in India and the Asia-Pacific region.

“Our partnership with a leading company like ABAN Power perfectly aligns with our strategic vision.”

ABAN Power green business head Srijith Menon stated: “We are excited to join forces with GDG and leverage our extensive experience in offshore and renewable energy projects globally.

“Our partnership is uniquely positioned to lead the offshore sector in India, significantly contributing to the country's renewable energy targets.”

In August 2023, Venterra secured a deal to acquire Cape Holland, a company based in the Netherlands specialising in offshore construction services.

Cape Holland is recognised for its proficiency in offshore vibro-piling, a new technique for installing or extracting large monopile foundations used in offshore wind farms.

Established in 2002, Cape Holland has been at the forefront of developing proprietary vibro-lifting tools.

The tools are designed to embed foundations into the seabed and offer benefits over traditional installation methods.
