TNEI are delighted to announce that we are expanding our services into the US market.  We have been supporting the renewable energy industry across the UK, Ireland and Africa for over 20 years and with our team of talented individuals, we are excited to grow our business in the USA. This announcement comes at an exciting time for the US Offshore Wind industry, as the Government has recently announced a goal of 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030.  With TNEI’s experience of working on every major offshore wind farm in Great Britain, we believe we can help developers achieve this target.  Director of Strategy and International Business, Dieter Gutschow who is leading our move into the US market says “TNEI have been helped connect tens of GW of wind to the grid. We are at the top of our game and look forward to supporting the US with achieving

TNEI were delighted to recently take part in the digital series, Leading the Charge, in partnership with Excellence in Electrotechnical and Engineering Services and filmed by Content With Purpose.  The digital series is aimed at promoting companies in the electrotechnical sector who are at the forefront of our efforts to achieve Net Zero.  It explores progress in the electrical industry, covering a number of areas including renewables, energy storage, retrofitting, automation, electrical safety, policy and training.  It provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and best practice.  It will raise awareness and help inspire the next generation.  TNEI’s Director of Networks and Innovation, Stephanie Hay, says “TNEI is committed to addressing the climate emergency.  Our whole mission is to enable and accelerate a low carbon future.  The changes that we need to make on the power system will require real innovative thinking, and we’re excited to be at the

In partnership with Baringa, TNEI have produced a new report with Wind Energy Ireland which examines the electricity system’s potential carbon budge and will be a key contribution to the current debate on Ireland’s emissions targets.  The report shows how power sector emissions could be kept to 66 million tonnes between 2021 and 2030, but only if existing plans for Ireland’s energy system are improved and accelerated.  The report highlights three key priorities for Government ahead of the setting of carbon budgets for each sector of the economy: We must accelerate the delivery of onshore wind and solar Shaping Our Electricity Future is not enough We must replace the fossil-fuel based back-up Jeff Kelliher, Specialist Consultant, Dearbhla O’Brien, Country Manager, Ireland and Kenneth Conway, Principal Power Systems Consultant worked on the findings and comment “There is no silver bullet for transforming our power system towards net zero. However, an Accelerated

The OWA High Voltage Array Systems project, delivered by TNEI and Petrofac, publishes outcomes of a study into the optimal future array voltage level and how the transition can be made most effectively. The Carbon Trust has published a study in collaboration with the OWA High Voltage Array Systems partners. The primary objectives of the study were to: Determine the optimum voltage for future array systems De-risk future wind farm projects that will use the new array voltage level Promote the optimum voltage as a global standard Inform wind farm developers, the supply chain, regulators and other relevant stakeholders about when the change to the higher voltage is likely to occur and the critical path to transitioning to the next voltage The study involved: Extensive supply chain engagement to raise awareness of the project and to gain insight from the – supply chain on technical and engineering factors Reviews of

Calling all budding artists! Ahead of Global Wind Day 2022 TNEI is launching an exciting competition aiming to inspire the next generation to discover wind energy, its power and the possibilities it holds to reshape our energy systems.
