Mott MacDonald's offshore windfarm portfolio is
rapidly expanding, with projects all over Europe and the USA. We’re
providing services that draw on our unique combination of marine,
wind and project finance expertise and skill in integrating
offshore windfarms into electrical networksMott MacDonald has a 100-year track record and a global reputation for excellence in power across the spectrum of fuel supply, generation, transmission and distribution.
We have in-depth experience in all technologies – gas, nuclear, oil and coal fired generation as well as hydroelectric power, wind energy, energy from biomass and waste, geothermal energy and other sources. Our transmission experience features direct current as well as alternating current and includes working at the highest voltages – at the same time we’re familiar with distribution systems in a wide variety of national contexts.
Production of electricity is often combined with heat for process, commercial or domestic use, and with water for desalination – all areas where we offer leading edge experience.
As developer’s engineer for Abu Dhabi’s first
independent power and water station, Taweelah A2, our role ranged
from conceptual design, performance models and specifications to
project engineering, site supervision and commissioningThe
skills we bring to the power sector include all aspects of
technical studies, design, eng-ineering and project manage-ment.
Our expertise also emb-races energy policy, environ-mental impact
assessment and management, institutional and regulatory reform,
sector plan-ning, market modelling, tech-nical modelling, price
forecast-ing, corporate strategy, develop-ment of private sector
power projects, financial modelling, risk analysis, due diligence
and commercial issues. And our experience adds value in the
rehabilitation and management of ageing power assets and in the
decommissioning of nuclear facilities.Our customers include electricity utilities and governments, private sector developers, commercial and institutional lenders, power companies, process industries, private equity houses, regulators, insurers and law firms. In all cases we are able to bring a strong and wide ranging base of international experience to provide complete solutions.

Simon Harrison on the UK energy debate
A series of drought years had drastically reduced
the generating capability of Brazil’s hydroelectric plants and
resulted in power shortages during the early part of the decade.
This led the Brazilian government to introduce a thermo-electric
priority programme covering construction of new gas fired combined
cycle power plants. We were lenders’ engineer for one such plant,
constructed at the Suape industrial port complex in Pernambuco
