Together, we are creating a stronger proposition for clients seeking support across the entire infrastructure lifecycle.”

Volta managing director Ryan McKenziesaid, “Volta was founded on the belief that successful energy projects require a combination of technical excellence, commercial understanding and practical delivery experience.

Joining OCU Group gives us access to a broader international platform while allowing us to continue supporting clients with the same specialist expertise and collaborative approach that has underpinned our growth.”
