Executive Summary<\/h2>\n
\n

OCS was chosen to design, supply, install and commission the full mechanical and electrical energy infrastructure at The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA)<\/a> \u2013 a development located in North-East Scotland.<\/p>\n

Delivered in partnership with Robertson Construction, the energy centre integrates technologies, including hydrogen fuel cells and anaerobic digestion, to provide a resilient and low-emission energy source for the 150-acre site. The works were a part of a wider strategy to enhance Aberdeen\u2019s position as a global energy hub, aligning with Aberdeen City Council\u2019s hydrogen and sustainability master plans.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

    The Outcome<\/h2>\n
    \n

    The TECA energy infrastructure was completed on time and fully aligned with customer expectations. It now plays a critical role in delivering clean, reliable and cost-efficient energy to the wider TECA estate, including the exhibition venue, arena, conference facilities and hotel complex.<\/p>\n

    As the UK\u2019s largest hydrogen fuel cell deployment, the site demonstrates what can be achieved through bold investment in green energy, systems integration, and engineering excellence.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
