Engineering confidence across offshore wind: Tekmar’s relationship with ScottishPower and Iberdrola

October 2, 2026

A multi-project relationship demonstrating the value of integrated engineering expertise, proven asset protection technology and international delivery experience.

Long-term customer relationships are built through technical understanding, consistent delivery and the ability to respond to increasingly complex project requirements.

Tekmar’s relationship with ScottishPower and Iberdrola demonstrates these strengths across a portfolio of major offshore wind developments. Our involvement spans East Anglia ONE in the UK, Wikinger, Baltic Eagle and Windanker in the Baltic Sea, and Vineyard Wind in the United States, supplying cable protection systems (CPS) and specialist engineering services.

Together, these projects illustrate the breadth of Tekmar’s experience and our ability to support customers across multiple developments and international markets. They also demonstrate our integrated offering: connecting engineering insight with the asset protection technology required to help optimise projects, manage risk and protect critical offshore infrastructure.

One integrated team, from engineering to protection

Offshore wind developers must balance technical performance, installation requirements, programme certainty and long-term asset integrity. Decisions made during development and design influence each of these priorities.Tekmar brings together Offshore Energy Services and Asset Protection Technology to address these requirements through one integrated team. Our engineering expertise informs the protection solutions we supply, connecting project understanding with practical delivery.

For developers, this creates an opportunity to engage with Tekmar early in the project lifecycle, assess protection requirements and resolve engineering challenges before key decisions become fixed. Our approach considers how the cable, protection system, offshore structure and seabed interact, alongside the demands of installation and operation.

This connection between engineering and technology supports a clear commercial objective: helping customers make informed decisions that balance project delivery requirements with long-term performance.

Gary Howland, Group Sales Director at Tekmar, said:

“Our relationship with ScottishPower and Iberdrola demonstrates how we create value across successive projects. We bring an understanding of our customers’ priorities, experience of different offshore environments and the capability to connect engineering decisions with the protection technology ultimately delivered.

“This is central to Tekmar’s strategy. By engaging early and working closely with developers, we can help optimise and de-risk projects while identifying where our integrated capabilities can deliver the greatest value. It is an approach that strengthens customer relationships and creates opportunities to support a broader scope over the project lifecycle.”

A track record across major developments

Tekmar has supplied CPS and engineering services across multiple projects within ScottishPower and Iberdrola’s offshore wind portfolio including:

  • East Anglia ONE — supporting a major UK offshore wind development with integrated cable protection and engineering expertise.
  • Wikinger — applying our capabilities within the Baltic Sea, building experience that informs our approach to subsequent developments.
  • Baltic Eagle — extending our involvement across Iberdrola’s portfolio through further CPS and engineering delivery.
  • Windanker — continuing a relationship spanning multiple projects within the same region.
  • Vineyard Wind — bringing our engineering and protection capabilities to a major development in the United States.

The commercial significance lies in the continuity of this involvement. Working across successive developments allows Tekmar to deepen its understanding of customer requirements, carry experience forward and strengthen working relationships between project teams.

For customers, that continuity provides access to a supplier with relevant project knowledge and experience across different markets. For Tekmar, it supports our strategy of building long-term relationships with leading developers and expanding the application of our capabilities across their portfolios.

Global experience, focused on customer outcomes

With 40 years of experience and a track record of protecting 50GW of offshore wind worldwide, Tekmar combines specialist technical knowledge with established delivery capability.

Our wider experience includes more than 12,000 cable protection systems across over 120 projects in more than 25 countries. This provides a substantial base of knowledge to draw on when assessing requirements and developing solutions for new projects.

The strength of that experience is its practical application. Understanding the relationship between design, manufacture and installation helps our teams consider how protection solutions will perform beyond the drawing board. It also supports informed discussions with developers and delivery partners about technical interfaces, installation constraints and asset integrity.

Our relationship with ScottishPower and Iberdrola brings these capabilities into focus: an established customer relationship supported by engineering depth, proven technology and experience of international project delivery.

Marc Bell, Chief Operating Officer at Tekmar, said:

“Customer confidence is earned through the quality of our engineering, the reliability of our products and our ability to deliver. Our involvement across ScottishPower and Iberdrola projects demonstrates the depth of experience we bring and the importance of maintaining those standards across every stage of our work.

“As one integrated business, we connect engineering, manufacturing and project delivery around the customer’s requirements. That coordination helps us manage interfaces, apply lessons from previous projects and provide protection solutions developed with installation and long-term performance in mind.”

Supporting customers and scaling the business

This relationship reflects the priorities behind Project Aurora: scaling the business through deeper customer engagement, broader application of our capabilities and disciplined delivery.

Tekmar’s unified offering provides a platform to support customers across more of the project lifecycle. Engineering services create opportunities to understand challenges early, while our asset protection technologies enable us to carry that understanding through into the solutions supplied.

Our work with ScottishPower and Iberdrola demonstrates this approach across an international portfolio. It is a relationship grounded in experience, strengthened through successive projects and aligned with our ambition to become an increasingly valuable partner to offshore energy developers.

Tekmar’s contribution is recognised in ScottishPower’s ‘Our Future. Built Here’ case study.
