Renewables

Electrical control systems and automation are playing an increasingly vital role in ensuring the efficient and reliable management of renewable energy applications. With cleaner energy sources and technologies becoming a key global priority, reliable distribution systems that enable leaner operations and improve safety and sustainability are a fundamental piece of the jigsaw.

Making renewables smarter, safer and more sustainable

While solar energy investment was virtually non-existent in the UK before 2011, it had received almost £12bn of investment by 2020. The sector supports up to 400,000 jobs in the UK, and to meet renewable energy targets, the Government needs to pour approximately £3bn into the sector every year. With a new era of renewable energy upon us, the opportunity is there for renewables providers to play a pivotal role in shaping the future.

Renewable energy takes many forms – from wind and solar to hydroelectric and bioenergy. It’s a complex sector where innovation and expertise are essential. Banelec has provided innovative automation and electrical control solutions to the renewables sector for many years. We have vast experience in helping to make onshore and offshore energy operations smarter, safer and more sustainable, thanks to our base electrical engineering skills and our expertise with PLC, SCADA, robotics and Industry 4.0 applications.

Dedicated renewables expertise

Governments around the world are investing heavily in reaching their targets under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The only way they can do so is by reducing oil and gas emissions, reforming how offshore platforms work by converting them to electric-powered, and decommissioning rigs in the most sustainable way. 

To bring these projects to fruition, operators need to look beyond its geographical boundaries for partners with the right skills, expertise and experience to deliver the outcomes required. 

That’s where Banelec can help.
