Specialist delivery for energy and network projects 

From offshore wind connections to transmission network upgrades, Scotland’s energy sector is evolving rapidly.

We help clients smoothly navigate the requirements of Scottish legislation, land access, and environmental compliance to keep ambitious projects on track.
