SPIE, the independent European leader in multi-technical services in the areas of energy infrastructure and communications, announces the signing of an agreement to acquire Worley Power Services, a subsidiary of Worley Group.

With this acquisition, SPIE Global Services Energy expands its core expertise in technical maintenance to include power generation assets. Building on its presence in Australia since 2012, SPIE Global Services Energy is now positioned to play a key role in the country’s energy transition from coal and gas to renewable sources.

With more than 20 years of successful operational experience, Worley Power Services has established itself as the clear market leader in full life-cycle asset management. Its services include operations and management (O&M) services, for wind farms, power plants and gas pipelines across Australia. Over the past five years, the company has successfully shifted its focus toward low-carbon power generation assets, in line with the accelerated phase-out of coal-fired power stations in Australia. The company has therefore become the O&M provider of choice for government entities, electricity generation companies and infrastructure investors.

Worley Power Services are currently contracted to provide operation and maintenance services across 27 power generation assets representing a total generation capacity of over 2700MW, as well as more than 1100 km of gas pipelines. For the financial year ended 30 June 2025, Worley Power Services generated c.a. 70 million euros in revenue and employs 320 people, primarily highly qualified technicians and engineers.

Christophe Bernhart, Managing Director of SPIE Global Services Energy warmly welcomes the teams from Worley Power Services: “As Australia accelerates its transition to renewable energy, we are delighted to be part of this challenge by integrating WPS's operational expertise. The acquisition of Worley Power Services will complement our current activities in Australia and will allow us to gain a strong footprint in our traditional core of Operations, Maintenance and Asset Integrity in the green energy sector, supporting SPIE’s strategy. It marks an important step in strengthening our long-term presence in Australia, a strategic market for us.”

Gillian Cagney, President Global Operations APAC of Worley Group: “The Power Services team has played a vital role supporting Australia’s energy sector over many years and we are confident that they are well positioned for continued success.”

On completion of the acquisition, Worley Power Services will be renamed “SPIE Power Services”.
