Nexos: Rebranding to Reflect Growth and Strategic Shift in the Energy Industry

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aberdeen-based energy solutions company, nexos, formerly known as Global E&C, has rebranded to reflect its refreshed purpose and strategy.

Nexos is a leading provider of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services within the conventional and emerging energy markets. The rebrand follows the acquisition of nexos by SCF Partners, which has strategically positioned nexos into its D2Zero portfolio.

As part of the D2Zero group, nexos joins forces with other companies focused on clean energy solutions, including Hydrasun, Powerstar, and Score, to drive decarbonisation and support the energy transition.

Nexos’ rebrand symbolises more than just a change of name; it reflects the company’s accelerated shift towards servicing next-generation energy markets. CEO Terry Allan commented, ‘We are committed to delivering innovative operational solutions that enhance and decarbonise existing energy assets while building the infrastructure required for new energy sources. Nexos will focus on helping bridge the gap between our current and future energy systems through turning the best ideas into operational reality.’

While nexos is keen to expand its role in emerging energy markets such as hydrogen, carbon capture, and renewable infrastructure, its core operations in traditional energy remain a vital part of the business. Offshore energy infrastructure continues to be a key focus with nexos supporting more than 33 offshore assets across the UKCS. This demonstrates nexos’ continued commitment to providing reliable, innovative operational solutions for the oil and gas sector as it evolves alongside the broader energy transition.

One of the key elements of nexos’ new direction is its recent acquisition of OSL Consulting Engineers, an engineering and design consultancy based in Hull. This acquisition strengthens nexos’ footprint across the UK, enhancing its capabilities in both onshore and offshore projects. OSL brings a wealth of experience in next-gen energy technologies such as carbon capture, hydrogen fuel switching, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Mr Allan added, “The OSL team’s expertise in delivering complex energy projects is a perfect fit for nexos, and D2Zero overall, allowing us to further accelerate the development of clean energy solutions.”

In addition to expanding its portfolio and geographical presence, nexos is also investing heavily in infrastructure to support its growth. The company has developed a state-of-the-art modularisation facility at Aberdeen Harbour, which includes direct access to Clipper Quay and an extensive yard space of approximately 15,000m². This facility enables nexos to deliver innovative modular solutions for energy infrastructure projects, ensuring efficient execution and delivery of both oil and gas decarbonisation efforts and new energy developments.

With a headcount of over 1,100 employees working from facilities across the UK, nexos is well-equipped to deliver a broad range of operational solutions that support both traditional and next-gen energy markets. As part of the D2Zero group, nexos is ideally positioned to play a pivotal role in the UK’s evolving energy landscape.

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

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.
