General – Appointment
OEG Energy Group has appointed Thomas Lynch as its new Regional Director (Americas) for its offshore wind division.
In this role Thomas will lead the expansion of OEGR’s service and product offering in North America, building upon OEGR’s successful contract wins in the region and strengthening its international footprint.
Thomas will help enhance OEGR’s local resources and capabilities in North America to ensure that it is positioned to be a key player and partner to wind farm developers and OEMs as the US offshore wind market continues to grow.
Thomas joins OEGR having been the Managing Director (North America) for Axess Offshore Wind where he was responsible for driving growth and diversification of their offshore wind services and solutions in the region.
Prior to this he worked with Eversource Energy providing engineering coordination for grid inter connection for the Vineyard offshore wind farm, the US’s first utility scale offshore wind project.
The forward strategy for OEGR in North America is to build a similar set-up as has successfully been achieved by the company in Asia. OEGR in Asia, is based in Taiwan where it has grown its local resources and capabilities as the country has advanced its offshore wind capacity, positioning the company as a key player in Taiwan. OEGR Asia has then expanded from that base to support the development of offshore wind projects in Japan, South Korea, and the wider Asia Pacific region.
