VINCI Energies has acquired offshore wind specialist EWE Offshore Service & Solutions GmbH from EWE.
The company, headquartered in Oldenburg (Germany) with locations in Emden and Borkum, generated annual sales of 30 million euros in 2019 and employs 160 people.
EWE OSS is a market leader as a specialist for the operations management and maintenance services of offshore wind farms in the North Sea with an own control centre and 24/7 standby teams, and providing services for their project development and engineering support. Among other things, it has in-depth know-how in the areas of substations, as well as IT and communications technology.
With this acquisition, VINCI Energies will strategically expand its brand Omexom, dedicated to the energy transition, and its services to the offshore wind market.
The company will be developed into VINCI Energies’ offshore competence center – a milestone in its evolution into a full-service provider for offshore substations.
VINCI Energies will take over all employees and all locations of EWE OSS. The Alpha Ventus, Riffgat and TWB II offshore wind farms will remain in the ownership of EWE.
