The five-year contract addition allows EthosEnergy to continue life-extension strategies, maximizing asset uptime and minimizing cost for Spirit Energy’s gas assets.
Spirit Energy recently awarded EthosEnergy with a five-year contract extension to support its offshore assets in the East Irish Sea, including the North Morecambe Terminal and CPC offshore platform. Under the long-term agreement, EthosEnergy will service gas compression packages through their operational end-of-life, delivering:
The contracted services, expected to maximize asset uptime and reduce overall cost, are evaluated in the seven-figure range with Spirit Energy anticipating six-figure savings across the contractual term. Spirit Energy’s contract arrives as gas reserves decline in the North Sea, allowing EthosEnergy to leverage its cost efficiency, performance, and effective communication within a maturing basin.

“We were asked a simple question: what savings can you bring us?” said Luke Merson, Account Manager at EthosEnergy. “Our answer was rooted in practical engineering. By refining maintenance intervals, managing obsolescence, and delivering these initiatives as a partner, we’ve demonstrated long-term value for our customer. This win is a credit to our entire delivery team. Many of them have supported this customer since 2018. It’s their professionalism and operational excellence that made this extension possible.”
In terms of comprehensive support, EthosEnergy offers multi-OEM capability and technical flexibility to support customer requirements without sacrificing quality or safety. The company also manages complex equipment and guarantees availability while avoiding needless capital expenditure. The extension builds on a partnership established in 2018, with the contract renewed three times since and the duo developing a joint strategy to extend time between overhauls.
“This contract showcases our unique market position,” said James Edmondson, Commercial Director at EthosEnergy. “We offer the technical robustness you’d expect from an OEM, paired with the agility and customer alignment of an independent service provider. Partnering with us doesn’t mean compromise—it means value and performance.”
In May 2025, EthosEnergy signed a multi-year contract with Energia 2000, S.A., to provide third-party operations and maintenance (O&M) services for the 420-MW combined-cycle Manzanillo Power Land project in the Pepillo Salcedo, Montecristi province of the Dominican Republic. The project, set to open in late 2025, features a Siemens Energy SGT6-8000H gas turbine and an SST6-3000 steam turbine. It focuses on energy efficiency to help produce clean, reliable, cost-effective electricity. The new plant sits alongside a natural gas terminal and port with a reception pier and breakwater.
And in July, EthosEnergy signed a multi-year O&M agreement with the Rhode Island State Energy Center, a two-by-one combined-cycle gas turbine power plant in Providence, Rhode Island, and owned by Shell Energy North America. The facility, commissioned in 2002 with a nominal output of 596 MW, is powered by two SGT6-5000F gas turbines and one GE D11 steam turbine. With this new agreement, EthosEnergy further expands its presence in the Northeast and continues to deliver value through tailored, technology-neutral solutions.
Per the agreement, EthosEnergy will deliver comprehensive O&M services, including:
