Full cable and termination monitoring deployed at world’s first floating offshore wind farm, supporting energy security for UK homes and the sector’s growth.
Proserv’s proprietary Electro Cable Guard (ECG™) system is now fully operational on Hywind Scotland development, the world’s first commercial floating offshore wind farm, owned by operator Equinor and its partner Masdar.
Located off the coast of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, the project generates clean energy for around 35,000 UK homes. This critical infrastructure assurance milestone represents a significant step forward for the reliability of power generated by floating wind.
The deployment and operation of Proserv’s ECG™ cable monitoring system marks the first time its UK-led technology has been utilised in a floating offshore wind environment. Delivered by the Aberdeen-headquartered firm’s team in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, with support from colleagues in Trondheim, Norway, the technology enables continuous, real-time electrical and thermal condition monitoring of both subsea cables and terminations. This provides critical diagnostics to enhance system resilience, reduce unplanned outages, and optimise maintenance strategies.
Paul Cook, Proserv VP renewables, said: “ECG™ is set to play a pivotal role in floating wind’s journey towards commercial maturity. The successful deployment at Hywind Scotland development demonstrates how our technology delivers the actionable data and asset protection the sector urgently needs, particularly as projects scale and move into more challenging environments. We’re now applying the condition monitoring insights gained from Hywind to inform future applications across floating offshore wind and dynamic cable systems, supporting smarter decision-making and greater reliability as the industry evolves.”
Proserv led the development and commercialisation of ECG™ in partnership with Synaptec, a leader in power system monitoring, and BPP Cable Solutions, which specialises in subsea cable engineering and management. During development, the project also received valuable support from the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, as well as 2 industrial sponsors, Equinor and ScottishPower Renewables.
As energy infrastructure evolves, so too must the strategies that support it. In the first of a four-part webinar series running throughout 2026, Proserv brings together industry experts to explore how smarter ECG™ innovation is transforming cable strategies across the asset lifecycle.
Join us on Thursday, 26 February 2026 at 10:00am (UK time) to hear how advanced ECG™ technologies are driving measurable lifecycle cost reductions, accelerating project delivery, and unlocking long-term asset value across energy infrastructure projects.
This live session features a dynamic panel debate with the Proserv team, followed by an interactive Q&A where you can put your questions directly to the experts.

At Proserv, we’re proud to invest in the next generation of industry talent through our apprenticeship program, which aligns with our core FRESH values.
Today, we’re highlighting the journey of Reece Lawrence, one of our standout apprentices, as he shares his experience and insights into what makes Proserv’s program a unique launchpad for a successful career. Reece’s story underscores the blend of practical skills, real-world experience, and personal growth that apprenticeships foster. Let’s dive into his journey!
Q: What made you want to sign up for the apprenticeship program?
Reece: I was drawn to Proserv’s apprenticeship program because it offers a hands-on learning approach while working toward valuable qualifications. I have a long-term goal of pursuing an offshore career, and I knew that starting with a solid foundation in the workshop, combined with academic studies, would give me the skills and qualifications I need. Proserv’s program stood out as it offered precisely that combination – real-life, on-the-job experience that aligns with my career ambitions.
Q: What was the best part of the program?
Reece: Without a doubt, the highlight was completing my offshore survival training and going on my first trip offshore! From the adrenaline-pumping helicopter and sea survival training to earning my BOSIET and MIST certifications, each step was a milestone. Heading to the Dunbar and conducting pressure testing operations in a live offshore environment was incredibly exciting – it’s one thing to learn in a workshop, but nothing beats the thrill and learning of real-world application.
Q: What did you find challenging about the program?
Reece: Balancing college work and hands-on experience was sometimes challenging. The demands of both academic and practical learning taught me to manage my time well and sharpen my problem-solving skills. Overcoming these challenges has been rewarding; it helped me develop resilience and resourcefulness, qualities that are essential for a successful offshore career.
Q: Tell us about your work with Trident in Equatorial Guinea.
Reece: Working in Equatorial Guinea was a phenomenal experience. I first flew out there in October 2023, where we performed an onshore SIT before transitioning offshore for well completion operations. I had the chance to work on two well completions, learning alongside a team from diverse backgrounds around the world. These international stints were invaluable, as I was not only able to develop my technical skills but also gained cultural insights and learned to adapt to different working environments. I’ve also had the opportunity to mobilize from Norwich for offshore work on the Well Safe Protector for plug and abandonment campaigns, which has expanded my industry exposure further.
Q: What advice would you offer to new Proserv apprentices?
Reece: If you’re looking to gain hands-on experience while also earning a qualification, I can’t recommend an apprenticeship enough! It’s the best of both worlds – you’re developing practical skills in a real-world setting while also earning a salary. This combination of education, experience, and financial support really sets an apprenticeship apart as a launchpad for a successful career.
Reece’s story is a testament to Proserv’s commitment to nurturing future talent through structured, supportive, and immersive training. His experiences showcase the power of learning by doing – a philosophy at the heart of our FRESH values. At Proserv, we’re not just building careers; we’re building resilient, skilled professionals ready to lead the industry forward.
If you’re considering a hands-on career in energy and engineering, explore our apprenticeship opportunities. Like Reece, you could be on the path to a dynamic and rewarding journey with Proserv!
