TAQA snaps up new home in Aberdeen

The Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) has cemented its long-term commitment to Aberdeen by securing a 10-year lease on a new high-profile office at Arnhall Business Park, Westhill.

 The move comes after TAQA announced it had entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Shell U.K. Limited and Esso Exploration and Production (UK) Limited to purchase the equity pertaining to operating licenses for six offshore fields and two non-operated subsea tie-backs situated in the Northern North Sea.  

 TAQA has signed the long-term lease for Pavilion One at Arnhall with Knight Property Group. The 42,000 square foot building spans four floors of high-specification office accommodation.

 Having established a presence in Aberdeen in 2007, the move to Westhill provides the accommodation necessary to house the UK office of this rapidly growing global energy company.

 Worldwide, TAQA has investments and operations totaling more than £12 billion across the energy spectrum (power generation, water desalination, upstream oil and gas, pipelines, and gas storage).

 Leo Koot, Managing Director of TAQA Bratani said: “We look forward to moving into our new UK office at Arnhall Business Park. It is the perfect location for us as we expand our operations in the North Sea. It is important that we can provide our growing team with modern, spacious accommodation and this is precisely what we achieve through Arnhall.”

 James Barrack, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Property Group, said: “We are pleased to welcome TAQA Bratani to Arnhall Business Park. TAQA brings a wealth of expertise and job opportunities to the city and their occupancy at Arnhall showcases the high-level business benefits offered by this attractive site. Business is thriving in Aberdeen’s Westhill area and we will be announcing further deals for Arnhall very soon.”
