May 26, 2026

Benchmark International is verheug om die transaksie tussen Athena en OCU aan te kondig.

Athena spesialiseer in kragsisteemingenieurswese en die verskaffing van vroeë-fase tegniese konsultasie, wat projekte ondersteun deur haalbaarheidsassessering, roosteraansluitingstrategie, en die ontwerp en lewering van rooster- en privaatnetwerkinfrastruktuur. Die onderneming kombineer sterk interne ingenieurskundigheid met sy rol as 'n onafhanklike aansluitingsverskaffer (ICP), deur mededingende roosterinfrastruktuur tot 132 kV te lewer, tesame met spesialiservaring in elektriese balans van aanleg (EBoP) en privaatnetwerkontwikkelings.

OCU bied end-tot-end infrastruktuur-ingenieursdienste in die nutsdienste-, digitale- en energiemarkte, met spesialisasie in die veilige en doeltreffende lewering van komplekse kliëntvereistes. Dit word sedert 2022 besit deur die Europese private-ekwiteitsfirma Triton Partners.

Die verkryging van Athena bringgedeelde waardes van tegniese uitnemendheid, veiligheid en kliëntgesentreerde leweringbymekaar. Dit verbeter ook OCU se posisie om aan die groeiende vraag na gevorderde elektriese infrastruktuurvermoëns in die VK se hernubare energie- en nutssektore te voldoen.

Neil Smith, direkteur van Athena, het gesê: "Om by die OCU-groep aan te sluit, is 'n opwindende volgende stap vir Athena PTS. OCU se omvang en aanvullende vermoëns sal ons in staat stel om ons elektriese ingenieursdienste uit te brei, terwyl ons die tegniese standaarde en kliëntfokus wat ons besigheid definieer, handhaaf. Ons sien daarna uit om saam geïntegreerde oplossings te lewer en nuwe geleenthede vir ons mense te skep."

Michael Hughes, hoof uitvoerende beampte van OCU, het opgemerk: "Ons is verheug om Athena by die OCU-groep te verwelkom. Hul diep tegniese vermoë in elektriese ingenieurswese en projeklewering versterk ons end-tot-end-diensaanbod oor die energietransisie- en nutsmarkte. Athena se kundigheid stem ooreen met ons verbintenis om die VK se netto-nul-ambisies te ondersteun, terwyl ons voortgaan om hoëgehalte-uitkomste vir ons kliënte te lewer. Hierdie verkryging sal OCU se vermoë verder aanvul om ten volle geïntegreerde ingenieursoplossings te verskaf, van ontwerp tot langtermynbatesondersteuning, en sodoende veerkragtigheid en waarde vir huidige en toekomstige vennote te verbeter."

Benchmark International het die verkopers by die transaksie geadviseer, saam met Primas Law (Gary Black en Bez Borang).
