SgurrEnergy has provided technical due diligence work on the recent Airtricity Holdings Limited acquisition.

The work was undertaken for Scottish and Southern Energy plc (SSE), who recently announced the £1.1 billion deal. SSE has acquired all of Airtricity's assets making it the largest wind farm operator across the British Isles. Interests throughout the UK and Ireland include a 308MW portfolio of operational wind farms as well as 500MW of developments with planning consent. SgurrEnergy provided a broad range of technical services beginning with a market analysis of each of the countries associated with the portfolio and a prediction of future energy outputs.  An assessment of operational performance of wind farms was carried out in addition to a technical review of operational and development phase projects.
