Our company

Fred. Olsen Renewables is a leading developer, owner and operator of renewable energy assets, primarily onshore wind farms.

We operate in all parts of the energy value chain, from sourcing wind farm acreage to the sale of electricity in the global market, developing renewable energy production in the UK, Sweden, Norway and Italy. We manage all phases from concept development to detailed design, construction, commissioning and operations.

Wind farms are carefully planned at every stage of their life. In this part of our website, you can find out more about the activities that are involved in the development of every wind farm, how we construct them, and what we do to make sure they stay operational and efficient.

Background

The company has been involved in renewable energy since the mid-1990s and our first commercial scale wind farm, Crystal Rig, commenced operation in 2003. Since then, eight additional wind farms have been constructed in Scotland, one in Norway and two in Sweden, which brings our total installed capacity up to 784 MW.

Construction

After the wind farm is permitted, access to the grid is secured and all other cost elements have been carefully considered, the construction work can start. Fred. Olsen Renewables has in-house expertise with a long track record of managing project construction. Construction activities include roadworks, underground cabling, foundation construction, and turbine installation.
