Company Background

\n

Forsa Energy ("Forsa") was established in 2011 to develop, construct, own, and operate energy assets across Europe. Until September 2017, Forsa Energy was known as Velocita Energy Developments and 2020 Renewables. Under these names, we built a successful renewables business in the UK and France, which included a combined development portfolio of over 1.4 GW. We successfully financed and constructed approximately 230 MW of wind projects.

\n

Following the successful sale of its GB operating business and French interests, the company made a strategic decision to broaden its technology base beyond onshore wind. It rebranded under a single name: "Forsa Energy".

\n

Forsa's flexible business was established in mid-2017 to meet the growing market demand for reliable, flexible capacity to support the grid. The initial focus was on reserve gas using reciprocating engine technology, which was immediately commercially viable. The team has successfully developed, financed, and built twelve operational sites, totalling approximately 300 MW.

\n

With the original business plan well underway, Forsa is now exploring alternative technologies and applications in the flexible space to support the sector's transition to net zero. This includes storage, the use of green fuels, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). Forsa also has a small portfolio of advanced development battery energy storage system (BESS) projects and is returning to its roots in renewable , aiming to build a diversified portfolio of power assets.

\n

The most recent developments are the establishment of an in-housed trading function to trade the of Forsa owned assets as well as 3rd party assets as well as an in-housed O&M function to provide those services to both owned assets as well as third-party operations.

\n

Given the success Forsa is experiencing and the ongoing planned growth, a fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Field Service Engineer to come and join the Forsa Team.
