Full-service consulting company COWI is awarded a multi-year service agreement by Equinor, focusing on support with offshore wind projects and low-carbon solutions.
COWI has been awarded a so-called master service agreement (MSA) by Equinor, which is planning to build a 12-16 GW renewables portfolio by 2030.
The MSA has three elements: making personnel available for Equinor projects; delivering independent studies, reviews and verifications; and engineering scopes of work.
“Changes are coming. Equinor’s steps may well be a game-changer for the energy transition by inspiring other energy companies to follow. It is an honour to be selected as a partner to support Equinor in this transformation,” says Group CEO, Jens Højgaard Christoffersen.
COWI has worked for Equinor for years, also on renewable projects like the Empire Wind project with a total capacity of 2.1 GW. But the service agreement has an even larger potential.
The contract runs for five years with options to extend it twice by three years, so up to 11 years in total.
The first contract under the MSA is the Firefly project offshore Ulsan, South Korea.
