What Global Energy Group does

Global (formerly Global Energy Group) is a UK-headquartered, privately held integrated energy and infrastructure solutions provider serving tier 1 operators across offshore wind, onshore wind, energy transmission, oil & gas, utilities, hydrogen, carbon capture, nuclear and construction. Founded in Inverness in 2005 by Roy MacGregor, the group operates through a portfolio of operating subsidiaries and minority investments including Global Wind Projects, Global Crane Services, Global Infrastructure, Global Power Services, Global Port Services, Global Energy Solutions, Apollo (engineering consultancy), Global Modular and a controlling stake in Prism Energy. Across the group the company employs more than 1,500 people and in FY2025 reported turnover of £330 million and underlying profits of £34 million, with a stated target of £500 million within three years.

The group's offering spans the full project lifecycle — engineering consultancy, design, project controls software, modular manufacturing, civil construction, crane and heavy-lift services, HV cable installation and jointing up to 400kV, port agency, storage and marshalling, and asset integrity — delivered through long-term preferred framework agreements and project-based contracts. Strategic facilities are concentrated across Scotland (Inverness HQ, Aberdeen, Invergordon, Port of Nigg, Kintore, Inverurie, Beauly) with additional operations in Northern Ireland (Dunloy) and England (St Helens, Halesowen). The group operates one of the UK's most modern crane fleets including Liebherr 750t and 800t mobile and crawler cranes and multiple SPMTs, and has delivered 3.5GW of offshore wind projects through the Port of Nigg cluster (Beatrice, Moray East, Seagreen, Moray West).

In July 2025 the group divested Port of Nigg and its associated fabrication and steel processing businesses to Mitsui & Co. Europe and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines for approximately £30 million, refocusing Global around higher-margin integrated services, modular manufacturing and project controls software. Subsequent acquisitions include Prism Energy (majority stake, 2026) adding project management software, and Pier Solutions (2026) relaunched as Global Modular to deliver modular e-houses, substations and transmission infrastructure. The company rebranded from Global Energy Group to 'Global' in 2025 and is constructing a new 2,000 m² headquarters at the Inverness Campus Green Freeport zone for end-2026 completion.
