BOSLAN helps its clients engineer and oversee the construction
of infrastructure for the net-zero transition, such as on- and
offshore wind farms, solar power plants, smart grids, electric
vehicle charging infrastructure and hydrogen plants. It also
supports the construction of data centers and critical
infrastructure. The services BOSLAN provides include feasibility
studies, project planning, cost and quality control, contract
negotiation and management, design reviews, equipment purchase
assistance and field work supervision. The company’s clients are
private and public sector organizations in the renewable energy,
oil and gas, infrastructure, data centers and utilities
industries.
BOSLAN adds more than 1,000 engineering and project management
professionals to Accenture, most of whom are based in Spain and
Brazil. The company also has a presence in Portugal, the United
Kingdom, the United States and Mexico. The team joins Accenture’s
infrastructure and capital projects practice within its digital
engineering and manufacturing service, Industry X.
With the acquisition of BOSLAN, Accenture continues to scale its
services to help clients complete capital projects—large, long-term
infrastructure projects—more predictably and efficiently. BOSLAN
marks Accenture’s first capital projects acquisition in Europe,
where spending on the clean-energy transition surged to $341
billion in 2023.1 Last year, Accenture acquired Anser Advisory in
the United States and Comtech Group in Canada to take advantage of
an addressable annual market of $88 billion in North America.
“European companies in the energy and utilities sector are
leading the charge in transitioning to renewable energy and
ensuring low-carbon emission power is competitive,” said G�tz
Erhardt, who leads Industry X in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
at Accenture. “BOSLAN has helped pioneer many projects in this
space. Their engineering and industry expertise will bolster our
capabilities to help clients in Europe and globally realize their
net zero ambitions. It will also grow our footprint as a global
provider of infrastructure and capital projects services, including
digital and AI solutions for asset lifecycle management, which are
essential to the reinvention of infrastructure projects.”
Mercedes Oblanca, Iberia Market Unit Lead at Accenture, added:
“Spain is at the forefront of the net-zero transition because of
our country’s experience, knowledge and capabilities in this
sector. We are delighted to welcome the professionals from BOSLAN
to Accenture. Together, we will bring the power of data and AI to
engineering to help our energy, industrial, and public and private
infrastructure clients execute their energy transition
infrastructure projects more efficiently, securely and
predictably.”
Isaac Gómez, CEO of BOSLAN, commented: "As a long-standing
partner to many of our clients, BOSLAN has been helping
organizations continuously adopt new technologies for large-scale
infrastructure projects and energy projects, such as offshore wind
farms and hydrogen infrastructure, some of which have become
milestones in the energy sector. By joining Accenture, we are
expanding our services for clients with advanced technology
solutions, advisory and transformation capabilities, and global
reach."
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
