DIVERSIFIES TO
MEET RENEWABLE
ENERGY DEMANDS
S
INCE 2003, FORTUNE
CP
has built its reputation on
offering sophisticated products for
the renewable energy industries in
Europe, North America, Africa and
Asia. The company is based in the
UK and is primarily focused on the
provision of solutions in solar, wind
and bio-fuels.
To meet the growing trend of
renewable development, Fortune CP
has positioned itself to meet this
demand by diversifying its products
and markets. The company has
branches and distributors all over
the world, and manufactures,
supplies, and maintains its products
in each region. Fortune CP has
taken a new approach to customer
service, offering project financing,
supervision, and renewable energy
training.
Philip Savieli, CEO of Fortune,
says that the company has met the
needs of various markets based on,
inmany cases, infrastructure needs.
“Often we are working in remote
locations, such as in Africa, and we
are working with local companies to
develop wind farms for instance.
Our training comes into the process
when we develop local employees in
these areas, and then those workers
have the skills to use once the
project is developed,” he explains.
In 2010, the company was
awarded a project by KCC
Engineering and Contracting Co.
Ltd to design, supply and install
solar PV systems for lighting at
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) in West
Kuwait. The project included six
sites, each having an off-grid solar
power system comprising of solar
panels,
controllers,
batteries,
inverters and other accessories.
The company works in other
Middle East countries such as
United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia,
