Sustainability advisory firm ERM has acquired UK technical advisory and market intelligence outfit The Renewables Consulting Group.
ERM’s 5500-plus global staff will grow by some 60 new additions as part of the deal, including RCG’s leadership team.
ERM said the agreement marks its sixth acquisition in 2021.
The acquisition expands ERM’s capabilities to support clients across the entire lifecycle of large-scale renewable energy projects, from market intelligence and strategy development through to the development, construction, operations, and decommissioning of projects, it said.
Chief executive Keryn James said: “With the acquisition of RCG, we are in an even stronger position to help our clients unlock the enormous potential of the clean energy revolution. We warmly welcome the talented RCG team to the ERM Group.”
