Demonstrating integrated capability and collaboration across the UK marine energy sector


Blackfish Engineering will be exhibiting jointly with PPI Engineering at this year’s

Marine Energy Wales Conference in Llandudno, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing engineering capability across the offshore renewable energy sector.



Two Specialists. One Integrated Solution.


A collaboration delivering end-to-end capability for the marine energy sector.

The partnership brings together complementary strengths across the marine energy lifecycle, combining specialist system design and engineering consultancy with advanced manufacturing and fabrication expertise. This integrated approach reflects a growing industry shift towards collaborative delivery models that help accelerate innovation, reduce project risk, and improve deployment readiness for marine energy technologies.



Integrated Marine Energy Solutions.

From Concept to Offshore Deployment.


Blackfish Engineering provides specialist consultancy services to the marine and offshore renewables sector, supporting clients through concept development, system design, performance analysis, and technical advisory. The company works closely with technology developers and project stakeholders to refine, validate, and de-risk emerging marine energy technologies.




PPI Engineering delivers extensive capability in the design, manufacture, and support of rotating electrical systems for offshore environments. With experience across marine energy , PPI provides robust, deployment-ready solutions designed for demanding operational conditions.



Together, the two organisations offer a fully integrated engineering capability spanning early-stage concept development through to manufacturing and offshore deployment, supporting the delivery of next-generation tidal, wave, and offshore wind technologies.


PPI Engineering and Blackfish Engineering combine complementary engineering capabilities and broad experience across the marine energy lifecycle, bringing together design expertise and advanced manufacturing to deliver end-to-end offshore solutions.

This partnership delivers a streamlined approach to next-generation tidal, wave and offshore wind technologies.



Speaking ahead of the conference, Blackfish Engineering highlighted the importance of collaboration across the supply chain as the sector continues to move towards commercial deployment:

“Marine energy is moving into a more demanding phase where success depends not just on innovative concepts, but on how effectively those concepts can be engineered and delivered at scale. Working in close partnership with specialist manufacturing capability allows us to better support developers in bridging that gap. This collaboration with PPI Engineering strengthens our ability to deliver integrated, practical solutions that accelerate deployment and reduce technical risk across the sector." - Jon Powell, Managing Director, Blackfish Engineering

PPI Engineering echoed this view, emphasising the importance of combining design and delivery expertise:

“Delivering marine energy technologies requires robust, proven engineering that can withstand the realities of offshore environments. By combining our manufacturing and systems integration expertise with Blackfish Engineering’s design capability, we are able to offer a more complete and responsive solution for developers. This partnership reflects a shared focus on quality, reliability, and practical delivery across the full project lifecycle." - Paul Ward, Business Development Manager, PPI Engineering


The Marine Energy Wales Conference brings together developers, industry leaders, and supply chain organisations to explore the future of marine renewable energy in Wales and beyond. The joint stand will showcase how integrated engineering approaches can help accelerate progress across the sector.



The collaboration between Blackfish Engineering and PPI Engineering reflects a wider industry trend towards partnership-led delivery models, ensuring technical innovation is matched with robust engineering execution.
