PSC, a specialist electricity industry consultancy, has announced the opening of its new office in Edinburgh.
The expansion into Scotland’s capital forms part of PSC’s growth strategy to better serve the increasing number of clients and opportunities in the fast-evolving energy sector.
Edinburgh was chosen as the location for the new office due to its status as a hub for net zero innovation, and a recognised centre for Scotland’s energy transition, the firm said.
Further to this, it added that the city fosters local jobs creation and skills development, with strong research initiatives at the University of Edinburgh, and sustainability-driven collaborations such as the Edinburgh Climate Compact – where local businesses commit to reducing emissions. Additionally, renewable energy projects, such as the Port of Leith’s green energy hub developed by Forth Ports, reinforce Edinburgh’s position as a key player in the industry.
Liam Feeney, general manager – North America and Europe, power networks and strategic advisory at PSC, said, “Our presence in Edinburgh strengthens our ability to support Scotland’s ambitious energy goals. The region is at the forefront of the energy transition, and we are committed to working alongside clients, industry partners, and local innovators to drive forward the development of sustainable energy infrastructure.”
PSC’s recent work in Scotland includes a detailed review of the regulatory processes for transmission network development, identifying improvements that could speed up future projects. Additionally, PSC supported the commissioning of an HVDC interconnector, leveraging global expertise to optimise the process and ensure on-time project delivery.
The new Edinburgh office will support projects related to energy infrastructure, renewables, and transmission networks. With specialised capabilities in HVDC, power networks and strategic advisory, the team will be focused on providing local technical expertise.
Liam Feeney continued, “PSC’s commitment to empowering the energy transition remains at the heart of everything we do. With 30 years of experience, enabling a sustainable energy system, supporting owners, operators, developers, and regulators in building the energy infrastructure of tomorrow. We are driven by agility and collaboration, bringing lessons learned from around the world to every project as we help our clients develop, deploy, and operate sustainable solutions.”
