MEMBER NEWS: Verlume shortlisted for three Scottish Renewables Awards

Verlume, a specialist in subsea power delivery, intelligent energy management and energy storage, is a triple finalist at the upcoming Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards which recognises the company’s commitment to delivering innovative technologies that change the energy landscape towards a sustainable future.

Organised by industry body Scottish Renewables, the awards celebrate organisations and individuals who are playing their part in Scotland’s clean energy ambition and making the deployment of billion-pound renewable energy projects possible.

Across three categories, Verlume has been shortlisted for the:

  • Green Business Growth Award
  • Outstanding SME Award
  • Technology & Business Innovation Award

The awards shortlisting comes at a time of significant growth at pace for Verlume, with a 400% increase in revenue reported for the financial year 2024/2025, further growing the team to support international growth plans and obtaining Fit for Offshore Renewables (F4OR) Granted status to signify that the business is competent, capable and competitive within the UK offshore renewable energy supply chain.

Richard Knox, Chief Executive Officer at Verlume, said: “It is fantastic to have been shortlisted in not one, but three categories at these prestigious awards. At Verlume, we have been at the forefront of the energy transition since 2013, being a key player in several world-first projects so it is great to be recognised for this.

“In particular over the last 12 months, we have helped more clients worldwide with power delivery challenges and delivered many systems across the offshore ecosystem to encourage renewables adoption and displace carbon-intensive traditional methods of power delivery.”

Emma Harrick, Head of Energy Transition and Supply Chain at Scottish Renewables, added: “Celebrating the people and organisations who are transferring their skills to help shape the future of our industry in Scotland is incredibly important to Scottish Renewables.

“As we stand at the forefront of a vibrant renewable energy future, much of the success we have achieved so far can be credited to the diverse mix of supply chain companies delivering the specialist products and services needed to achieve our green energy ambitions.

“The Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards are here to champion Scotland’s growing supplier network. It is clear from the shortlist – this year’s event is going to be a showcase of the innovation, skills and engineering know-how that the supply chain is bringing to the wind, solar, marine, hydro and hydrogen projects being delivered across the globe, and I look forward to joining them in celebrating these achievements in August.”

The ceremony takes place on 22nd August in Aberdeen. A full list of finalists for the 2024 awards can be found here: https://www.scottishrenewables.com/news/1662-shortlist-announced-for-scottish-green-energy-supply-chain-awards

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
