The contract will also contribute to the country’s 2030 goal of achieving a net-zero infrastructure as well as supporting the UK’s energy security agenda.
Keltbray Infrastructure division managing director Phill Price said: “This project award marks another important milestone in the delivery of our strategy to redefine the way sustainable development is delivered, where we see increasing demand for Keltbray’s integrated capabilities in safety-critical infrastructure sectors like energy.”
The scope of the award includes the building of new OHL electricity infrastructure, as well as renovating and changing of non-functioning assets.
This will help keep the energy distribution infrastructure up to date and make the network more resilient to handle peaks in demand as well as produce additional energy from renewable sources.
