As part of SPR’s asset upgrade works covering 204 wind turbines, Ecocel will manage the parts and supply for the installation of the Gamesa Pitch control system, which adjusts the angle of turbine blades to maximise efficiency. It will significantly enhance the efficacy and reliability of the turbines, contributing to increased renewable energy production.
“We’re delighted to work with Ecocel on this critical upgrade project” said Ross Galbraith, Onshore Construction & Operations Director at ScottishPower Renewables. “Their commitment to excellence and innovation aligns with our dedication to advance and maximise renewable energy generation. This partnership not only enhances our infrastructure but also supports local economic growth and job creation.”
To facilitate the work generated by the contract award, Ecocel has taken on 10 additional staff, including 4 trainees, with plans to hire an additional 6 wind technicians. The expansion underscores Ecocel’s commitment to supporting the local economy and contributing to the advancement of renewable energy technology.
“We’re thankful for the opportunity to help SPR enhance their Gamesa fleet in the UK and this further solidifies our relationship with them” added Ecocel’s Managing Director, Jamie Glover. “We look forward to working with them on future projects that will bring more jobs to Ecocel and new blood into the Industry.”
