DNV has acquired the US-based wind consultancy company Global Energy Concepts (GEC).

DNV Energy’s COO, Remi Eriksen, explains: “With GEC on board, DNV will be the wind world’s leading service provider.”

The combination of DNV’s global energy risk management expertise and GEC’s engineering and technical services establishes a leading player within the global wind power consultancy market.

GEC is a global leader in the wind energy industry and has conducted direct work on wind projects representing more than half of the new installed wind energy capacity in the US.

DNV has considerable expertise in wind energy and is the world’s leading provider of offshore project certification services. DNV’s current wind centre in Denmark has more than 20 years of wind energy experience.
