UK-headquartered international marine and engineering consultancy LOC Group (London Offshore Consultants) has announced it is partnering with WavEC Offshore Renewables, a private, non-profit offshore marine energy research and consultancy association.
As part of the agreement, LOC will provide its expertise on the complete lifecycle of offshore wind development, from project blueprint to operation.
LOC conducted its first renewable energy projects in 2002, and is now capitalising on its extensive experience to develop a fully focused renewables consultancy. In particular, the company is a leader in the provision of marine warranty surveying services, and has worked on more than two thirds of Europe’s offshore wind farms to date.
Pooling LOC’s expertise in offshore technology, resource measurement and O&M, amongst other areas, with the research and analysis capabilities of WavEC will benefit the industry as a whole.
LOC is aiming to triple its renewables revenue share by 2020.
