BOSLAN helps its clients engineer and oversee the construction of infrastructure for the net-zero transition, such as on- and offshore wind farms, solar power plants, smart grids, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and hydrogen plants. It also supports the construction of data centers and critical infrastructure. The services BOSLAN provides include feasibility studies, project planning, cost and quality control, contract negotiation and management, design reviews, equipment purchase assistance and field work supervision. The company’s clients are private and public sector organizations in the renewable energy, oil and gas, infrastructure, data centers and utilities industries.
BOSLAN adds more than 1,000 engineering and project management professionals to Accenture, most of whom are based in Spain and Brazil. The company also has a presence in Portugal, the United Kingdom, the United States and Mexico. The team joins Accenture’s infrastructure and capital projects practice within its digital engineering and manufacturing service, Industry X.
With the acquisition of BOSLAN, Accenture continues to scale its services to help clients complete capital projects—large, long-term infrastructure projects—more predictably and efficiently. BOSLAN marks Accenture’s first capital projects acquisition in Europe, where spending on the clean-energy transition surged to $341 billion in 2023.1 Last year, Accenture acquired Anser Advisory in the United States and Comtech Group in Canada to take advantage of an addressable annual market of $88 billion in North America.
