Copenhagen - Today (21.8.24) , Ramboll announced the acquisition of K2 Management, a global consultancy company specialising in wind and solar energy. The acquisition strengthens Ramboll’s ability to provide services to clients worldwide across all stages of wind energy projects.

Following the acquisition, Ramboll's global Wind division encompass over 900 experts across 20 countries, adding now also new local presences in Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, and Portugal. With the new setup, Ramboll is making progress towards its target of expanding its global wind business to over 1,000 experts by 2025 in response to the growing demand on the global wind market.

“We are very excited to be welcoming K2 Management’s experts to Ramboll. Wind energy is one of the main enablers of the green energy transition and with more than 30 years of experience in the industry, Ramboll is committed to playing a pivotal role in the advancement of the wind sector worldwide,” says Tim Fischer, Director for Ramboll’s global Wind division.

Over the last three years, Ramboll successfully developed the Wind business from a primary foundation designer to a full-service wind consultancy combining advisory and engineering services.

“By merging Ramboll’s decade-long engineering and design skills in wind projects with K2 Management’s leading role in project development and strategic advisory, our clear ambition is to create a true global leader that is well-positioned to support our clients in all phases of wind energy projects globally. It is no secret that talent is scarce in these highly specialised areas, which is why welcoming such a great team of experts to Ramboll all at once is a major milestone.,” Tim Fischer says.

For Lars K Hammershøj, co-founder of K2 Management, the acquisition also brings great opportunities to the company.

“With offices on five continents, K2 Management already operates a cross-border approach to cater to the global need for high-end advisory to developers, lenders and investors in green energy. By joining Ramboll, we will deliver even better solutions. I am confident that our similar mission, purpose, and culture, will enable a smooth integration of our teams,” he says.
