Founded in 2003, NorPower has expertise in the construction, installation, reconfiguration, and refurbishment of woodpole and steel overhead lines. Its distinctive capability lies in tackling complex projects across all terrains, especially in remote or restricted access areas, and adhering to tight deadlines.

The acquisition marks VINCI’s second significant investment in Scotland within two years, and includes the recent inauguration of new design offices in Glasgow.

Scott Van Der Vord, CEO of VINCI Energies UK & ROI, said: “We are delighted to welcome NorPower into the VINCI Energies Group and specifically to our network of decentralised businesses in the UK and Ireland.

“NorPower will be a great addition to our group enabling us to further enhance our offerings and experience in the HV Overhead Line segment.

“We now look forward to welcoming over 30 new colleagues who join the group and the opportunity to work with Alistair and Neil in the future to build on the success they have built up with their staff over the past 20 years across the UK.”

Alistair Macleod & Neil Lamont, NorPower’s directors, added: “We are pleased to begin NorPower’s next chapter as part of VINCI Energies UK & ROI. Whilst we thank our clients and suppliers for their business and support to date, we know we can use the strength of the VINCI Energies network of Business Units in the UK and around the world to better serve our customers during the current period of unprecedented investment in energy infrastructure and beyond.

“The group’s business model will give us the double benefit of driving NorPower’s growth whilst looking after and providing new opportunities for our loyal and skilled workforce who have always been our key priority and whom we sincerely thank.”
