Originally an oil exploration-focused business called Ramco, SeaEnergy has retained its oil interests but changed its name in order to reflect a new focus on the burgeoning sector of offshore wind energy.
SeaEnergy PLC (formerly Ramco Energy plc) is a Scottish public limited company headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland.
In September 2009 the board announced the intention to focus the group on renewable energy, specifically offshore wind. SeaEnergy in mid-2010 specified it would concentrate on marine services for the offshore wind power industry, following an assessment of the equity markets, investor sentiment and the funding environment.
It is in the process of selling its 80%-held renewable energy operating subsidiary SeaEnergy Renewables Limited which currently has interests in three offshore wind farm projects in development, totalling 3,125GW of capacity.
