European Green Transition acquires Harrogate wind turbine firm
European Green Transition has moved to expand its footprint in the UK and Irish renewable energy sector with the acquisition of Earthmill Maintenance, a Harrogate-based business specialising in wind turbine operations, maintenance, repairs, and remote monitoring.
The deal, valued at £3.5m in cash, also includes WEP Wind Energy Partnership in Ireland, its Northern Ireland subsidiary Silverford Engineering, and a 52% stake in Scottish condition monitoring software company Anemos Analytics. Together, these businesses serve over 900 wind turbines across the UK and Ireland and have remained profitable despite the challenges faced by their previous owner, Arena Capital Partners, which is in liquidation.
The acquisition strengthens EGT’s presence across key regions, with depots in Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and Northern Ireland, and positions the company for growth in critical infrastructure services across renewable energy markets.
Cathal Friel, executive chair of EGT, said: “Earthmill is a trusted partner for wind farm operators. This acquisition gives us an established platform in the UK and Ireland and positions us for strong growth in 2026 and beyond.”
Dave Broadbank, Earthmill’s managing director, said: “Joining EGT allows our team to move faster while continuing to deliver high-quality services for our clients. We’re excited for the next phase of growth and the opportunities ahead.”
