Global firm DNV has acquired Amplitude Consultants Pty Ltd, an Australian-based engineering consulting company, for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition marks a strategic move for DNV to enhance its capabilities within the rapidly evolving power sector, particularly in electricity transmission and distribution.
Amplitude Consultants specializes in providing expert services to clients involved in the transmission and distribution of electricity. Its extensive service portfolio includes AC power transmission and distribution, HVDC power transmission, renewable energy project connections, high voltage land and submarine cables, power electronics, and Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). The company is known for its delivery-focused approach, ensuring high-quality consulting outcomes through experienced staff.
The acquisition is strategically designed to integrate Amplitude's deep technical knowledge and established relationships into DNV's existing service portfolio. DNV gains Amplitude’s specialized engineering prowess and a strengthened presence within the Australian, New Zealand, and Singaporean electricity markets, expanding its geographical footprint and technical depth in critical power systems. Amplitude, in turn, will benefit from DNV’s extensive global network and resources, enabling it to pursue larger, more complex projects and broaden its service reach.
The combined entity is expected to offer a more comprehensive and robust suite of services to clients navigating the complexities of grid modernization and energy transition. This integration positions the new organization as a formidable partner for addressing advanced challenges in power transmission, renewable energy integration, and overall grid resilience, supporting the global shift towards sustainable and reliable power systems.
