Operating as Ventus Energy Incorporated, the primary office is located in Brooklyn, New York, within the Industry City complex. This places it close to key clients and overlooks the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, a strategic site for upcoming projects. A second base in Virginia positions the organization to aid offshore wind developments up and down the East Coast.
This expansion aligns with the organization's commitment to advancing a sustainable energy landscape. The move is expected to create a number of new jobs within the offshore wind sector in the near future, contributing to economic growth in the region.
The US division will be led by an experienced team to drive growth and success, with the company's UK senior leadership team taking on key roles. Managing director Lee Glendening and financial director Les Nutter will serve as president and vice president, respectively. Klaus Duttine of Ventus Energy's parent company, Topp Holdings, will also join the US entity in a vice president role.
Lee Glendening commented: “This expansion marks an exciting chapter for Ventus Energy. With our UK division growing significantly and high-profile projects emerging on the East Coast of America, establishing a permanent presence felt like the natural next step to better support our clients.
“Our new offices in Brooklyn and Virginia enable us to meet the increasing demand for offshore wind services in this region and this milestone reflects our commitment to helping achieve global renewable energy goals.”
Ventus Energy's Brooklyn location was made possible with the assistance of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, which played an instrumental role in securing these strategic premises to support clients in the offshore wind sector.
Ventus Energy specializes in a range of high voltage services including testing and termination, fault and emergency, operations and maintenance, electrical safety management and coordination, and is a preferred supplier for onshore and subsea cable repair.
With a proven track record in the energy sector, the organization is trusted for its breadth of skills and competencies for both the offshore and onshore markets.
