Keltbray has acquired IDEC Group Limited, a high voltage power engineering business.

IDEC Group Limited provides a full electrical substation design, construction and commissioning service up to 275kV; this includes the provision of digital systems engineering solutions based around grid protection, control, supervision and data acquisition to the energy networks, renewable energy and energy storage markets.

The acquisition is in line with a key part of the Keltbray Group's strategy to develop its infrastructure services offering. The addition of IDEC’s capabilities accelerates the group’s growth plans in power network enhancement, renewable energy generation, energy storage and transport decarbonisation. IDEC’s services, particularly in the regulated electricity market, are a strong fit with Keltbray’s existing energy business.

IDEC employs 138 employees and many of its clients are existing clients of the Keltbray Group.

Darren James, Chief Executive Officer at Keltbray, said: "The acquisition of IDEC is a further demonstration of the strategic focus of the Keltbray Group to develop its services in critical infrastructure markets. We look forward to welcoming our new IDEC colleagues to Keltbray as they join us to become part of a broader power engineering offering, and introduce a high quality control and systems integration capability in the water and industrial sectors."
