Responsible for 3GW or 10% of the UK’s renewable energy generation capacity RES has also proactively carried out ‘major works’ at some of the 76 onshore wind farms or 742 turbines, 61 solar farms, 3 storage projects and 6 offshore transmission assets.

Since April RES has booked more than 23,000 key workers onto wind, solar and storage sites across the UK&I, with specialist engineers bringing wind turbines and solar arrays back online.

As a result, we’ve been able to use our experience and capabilities to help keep renewable energy projects running, whilst also maximising their performance.
