Omexom Renewable Energies Offshore, pioneer in the offshore wind industry, has joined forces with VINCI’s innovation platform Leonard, to develop a data-driven artificial intelligence solution to detect generator failures before they occur.

Omexom Portugal signed an EPC contract with RWE for the construction of a photovoltaic power plant located in South of Portugal, with a capacity of 44 MWac (49 MWp).

The use of altitude wind energy through airborne wind turbines enables more and better controllable energy to be generated from wind. Alongside EnBW, SkySails Group and Leibniz Universität Hannover, Omexom is involved in developing this innovation into an everyday companion and making a valuable contribution to the climate-friendly energy system of the future.

In Ireland, Omexom's teams in France, in partnership with Omexom in the UK and RoI, have been awarded 3 photovoltaic solar power plant projects for their client Neoen, associated with BNRG. The first Millvale photovoltaic plant was inaugurated on April 29.

This episode of the Green Story takes us to Hikiä, Finland, where the local Omexom teams have developed a process to recover transformer parts and oil. In line with one of the three key areas of VINCI Energies’ environmental ambition, Omexom in Finland reduces waste production by reusing transformer oil and spare parts and recycling any leftover materials. Thereby, the team does not only preserve the environment, but has created a service that provides substantial advantages for their customers. Let’s have a look!

Last May, in the Hydroelectric Complex of the Tâmega River, Omexom started working with Iberdrola on the largest hydroelectric project in Europe in the last 25 years.

In August 2019, Omexom in Germany was awarded lot 5 for the construction of a 380 kV link between Emden/Ost and Conneforde. The assignment included the modernization of the existing 220 kV connection. Three of the pylons to be replaced were located in the Herrenmoor nature reserve between the municipalities of Zetel and Westerstede in the district of Friesland.

This episode of the Omexom Green Story takes us to Eemshaven, in the Netherlands. Here, our local business unit has contributed to sowing 25 000 m2 of wildflowers native to the region around a new substation to offset the impact of the infrastructure on the local habitat. A bee hotel and an electric vehicle charging point on site further highlight the intention of rethinking our operations to minimiz the impact of substation construction ob biodiversity.

On New Zealand’s South Island, Omexom crews have finished works on the Clutha Upper Waitaki Lines Project (CUWLP), a major step in securing the future of the country’s energy supply. By increasing the resilience of the electricity grid in the project area, CUWLP will facilitate further renewable energy development and reduce emissions by increasing New Zealand’s total share of renewable energy.

Today, our Green Story takes us to the Brazilian Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland and home to a UNESCO World Heritage site. Within Brazil, the Pantanal represents about 230,000 square kilometers divided between the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul and also extends into Bolivia and Paraguay.
