Scotland’s Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy, Paul Wheelhouse, yesterday unveiled a plaque at SgurrControlCentre, SgurrEnergy’s newly upgraded control centre in Glasgow, a technical support hub from which the company will carry out asset management for renewable energy projects.
The SgurrControlCentre is manned by a team of operational controllers who provide round-the-clock control, monitoring and management of a number of onshore and offshore wind, and solar projects, and associated site contractors.
“I am delighted to officially open SgurrEnergy’s newly upgraded SgurrControlCentre which will allow a greater ability to monitor wind and solar sites both in the UK and in overseas markets,” Wheelhouse said. “The Scottish Government wants to optimise the benefits of our significant energy resources and expertise, and we encourage and promote wind and solar as representing a safe, secure and cost-effective means of generating electricity.”
Robbie Gibson , SgurrEnergy’s Director of Asset Management, said: “SgurrEnergy is constantly striving to improve its client offering, and as a result has committed considerable investment in this state-of-the-art facility, which offers vital services to the renewable energy sector, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.”
