The RES Group (Renewable Energy Systems) is a UK-based renewable energy project developer. Its core business is to develop, construct and operate large-scale, grid-connected renewable energy projects worldwide. RES is active in the wind (onshore and offshore wind), wave and tidal, biomass, and solar energy sectors. It has been active in the wind energy industry for over 30 years and has now expanded in on-site and building-integrated renewables as well as in building design and consultancy. RES is also an independent power producer, owning and operating a growing portfolio of wind farms around the world. ==History== Renewable Energy Systems was started in 1982 as part of the Sir Robert McAlpine group of engineering and construction companies. Its early years were spent in researching various designs for commercial wind turbines, including work on a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) model as well as the now more widely used horizontal axis (HAWT) units. The company built its first commercial wind farm at Carland Cross in Cornwall in 1992, using 15 Vestas turbines, each of 400 kW capacity. In December 1998, the first commercial 1MW wind turbine to be designed and built in the UK was installed by RES at Slievenahanaghan, Co Antrim. In 2001 the company built the then-largest wind farm in the world at King Mountain in Texas, using 214 Bonus turbines of 1.3 MW capacity. In 2005, RES won a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Sustainable Development category. More recently the company has been active in the developing offshore UK wind power market. It has supported the delivery of both onshore and offshore engineering works for the Lynn and Inner Dowsing offshore wind farms off the coast of Lincolnshire in the UK. The RES Group has now developed and/or constructed over 100 wind farms worldwide, with more than 6.5GW of capacity. In addition, it has projects on its books totaling several thousand megawatts worldwide, at various stages of development. The group will be managing the assets of the Renewables Infrastructure Group, a company involved in onshore wind and solar energy in Britain, France and Ireland, that plans a stock market flotation to raise up to GBP 300 million.〔(Scotsman report 28 June 2013, accessed 28 June 2013 )〕 The RES Group has offices across the UK, Europe, North America and Australasia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renewable Energy Systems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
