Morrison Energy Services, a part of M Group Services’ Energy Division, has secured a major framework to improve the UK’s electricity transmission, in partnership with SP Energy Networks (SPEN).
The partnership will see Morrison Energy Services undertake the design and delivery of critical onshore power infrastructure, in support of Ofgem’s Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment (ASTI) framework.
The programme of works is critical for SP Energy Networks’ upgrade to its electricity network and supporting the UK’s drive to net zero – which will see the greatest improvement in the electricity grid in generations.
It builds on Morrison Energy Services’ long-standing relationship with SPEN, which extends more than 20 years. Morrison Energy Services’ has previously assisted in the construction of a major proportion of the existing transmission network, with the new framework extending this relationship to 2030 and beyond.
With works due to commence soon, Morrison Energy Services will collaborate with SP Energy Networks to deliver the build of the new infrastructure as well as upgrades to the existing infrastructure.
The framework creates a strategic partnership between parties to deliver highly complex, large-scale infrastructure project across central and southern Scotland. Integral to support the drive to net zero, the framework will support SPEN as it works to carry more clean, secure energy from renewable sources to homes and businesses across the UK, enabling the nation to become more self-sufficient.
Furthermore, Morrison Energy Services will create and support local employment opportunities through this significant framework, supporting the industry in developing its workforce and leaving a positive legacy in Scotland.
