Jacobs appointed to strategic UK energy framework for Murphy

Project supports critical infrastructure needed to meet energy transition goals

Jacobs (NYSE:J) was awarded a comprehensive, eight-year multi-disciplinary framework by Murphy to assist on projects within its SSEN Transmission portfolio. The framework encompasses numerous transmission and distribution infrastructure projects that support the U.K.'s shift toward a low-carbon future.

Throughout this long-term collaboration, Jacobs will work alongside Murphy and their other partners to provide integrated and high-voltage electrical design, verification and assurance, engineering, environmental, geotechnical and civil services, with a shared commitment to safety, sustainability, innovation and resilience.

Jacobs Senior Vice President James Nash said: "This framework is a testament to Jacobs' experience in delivering integrated design, engineering and project management solutions for our energy clients. By continuing our relationship with Murphy supporting the development of substations, grid connections and renewable energy assets in Scotland, together we are directly contributing to the U.K.'s energy goals."

Murphy Managing Director of Energy Liam Corr said: "This framework is a major step forward in our mission to deliver sustainable energy infrastructure at scale. Jacobs brings technical expertise and a collaborative mindset that aligns perfectly with our values and will help us to deliver projects that not only meet today's energy needs but also support the U.K.'s net zero ambitions."

This project builds upon Jacobs' recent appointment by Murphy as civil design partner on the construction of Uxbridge Moor, a new substation in West London that will connect new customers to the electricity network and help address demand in the area.
