East Anglia, UK – 11 August 2026– RES, the world’s largest independent renewable energy company, has been awarded the Safety from the System and Operational Control contract for ScottishPower Renewables’ East Anglia TWO offshore windfarm.

To support the East Anglia TWO contract, RES intends to recruit a team of 25 people from in and around the Lowestoft and Ipswich areas, boosting local employment and keeping specialist high-voltage skills and jobs in the region.

RES also aims to use UK suppliers where possible, working alongside locally-based UK subcontractors to keep value within the domestic supply chain.

Safety from the System is the foundational framework that keeps assets safely isolated, risks actively managed, and people able to work with confidence throughout the programme.

The contract award – which commences in 2027 – is testament to RES’ ongoing work on ScottishPower’s biggest-ever windfarm, East Anglia THREE, recognising the value and strength of continuity of team, expertise, and method.

Simon Deacon, Regional O&M Director, Northern Europe and Global Offshore Director at RES, said: “Winning this award for EA TWO is exactly the kind of recognition that matters most – not just a contract, but a clear signal that how we manage safety in complex high-voltage environments builds lasting trust. Our people have delivered consistently on East Anglia THREE, and we look forward to carrying the same standards and the same rigour as we grow our EA TWO team and get going from 2027.”

Michael Hotze, SPR’s EA2 TWO Project Execution Director, said: “It’s great to welcome RES to our East Anglia TWO project to support our efforts to bring even more homegrown clean power to the grid. As a trusted UK supply chain partner, this contract is another great example of how our projects are not only supporting a clean energy future, but boosting order books and helping drive economic growth. We look forward to building on the successful partnership established on East Anglia THREE.”
