Pelagian, in partnership with Pioneer Consulting has formed a new joint venture called P2 Offshore Consulting, which offers specialist marine consulting and management services to U.S. offshore renewable energy projects.
“We have been monitoring the U.S., offshore renewables market for some years,” said Howard Kidorf, a co-owner. Pioneer Consulting has worked with Pelagian for many years and feels that their past accomplishments are a springboard for the company’s future services.
The expertise of the JV will help developers, Balance of Plant suppliers, and marine contractors reduce project risk and contribute to the speedy development of this new sector, said Kidorf.
Pelagian is an established consultancy specializing in the design and construction of submarine cable systems. The company has been actively involved in many of the world’s major projects in the telecommunications, power, and renewable energy sectors including contributions to more than 15 offshore wind farms.
Peter Fisk, also a co-owner of the company, said, “The U.S. offshore wind farm market presents an attractive opportunity for us to bring our expertise and track record from many years of working in other offshore wind markets around the world and offer proven subsea power cable consultancy services and personnel.”
Pioneer’s complementary expertise and physical presence close to the market made it an obvious fit for a joint venture partner.
Boston, Massachusetts-based Pioneer Consulting offers a comprehensive set of services for subsea cable systems, including market and technical studies, due diligence, engineering, project implementation, maintenance planning, and operational support.
