Centuri Holdings announced on April 22, 2026 that it has entered into a strategic teaming agreement with Riggs Distler & Company, Smulders, and Cherubini Bridges & Structures to support the fabrication and delivery of offshore renewable energy infrastructure in Nova Scotia. The partnership brings together a Centuri‑owned U.S. offshore wind specialist, a European steel‑construction leader, and a Nova Scotia‑based steel fabricator, creating a vertically integrated supply chain that can accelerate the province’s goal of 5 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
The alliance is designed to leverage Nova Scotia’s world‑class wind resources, favorable seabed conditions, and ice‑free ports, while tapping into the province’s regulatory framework that has already granted licenses for up to 5 GW of offshore wind. By combining U.S. and European offshore wind expertise with Canadian fabrication capabilities, the group aims to reduce lead times, lower costs, and build a domestic supply chain that can support both current and future projects, including potential expansion to 10 GW of capacity under the province’s long‑term plans.
Centuri’s direct role in the partnership is anchored through its subsidiary Riggs Distler, which has fabricated components for U.S. offshore wind projects such as Sunrise Wind. The agreement expands Centuri’s footprint beyond traditional utility infrastructure, positioning the company to capture new revenue streams in a sector that is expected to grow rapidly in Canada. The partnership also aligns with Centuri’s broader strategy to diversify its portfolio and strengthen its competitive moat in the renewable‑energy market, as reflected in the company’s record $2.98 billion revenue and $5.9 billion backlog reported in Q4 2025.
Management commentary underscores the strategic importance of the deal. Troy Garnett, Vice President of Business Development for Cherubini Bridges & Structures, said, “This partnership reflects the long‑term opportunity offshore wind represents for Nova Scotia. With some of the strongest offshore wind resources in the world, Nova Scotia is well positioned to play a meaningful role in the global energy transition. Our large‑scale fabrication capability makes Cherubini Bridges & Structures a key partner in enabling a domestic offshore wind supply chain.”
David Muylaert, CEO of Smulders, added, “This agreement represents an important step in supporting a localized offshore wind supply chain. By working together, we are helping position Nova Scotia for long‑term success in the global energy transition.” Stephen M. Zemaitatis, President and CEO of Riggs Distler, noted, “We’ve seen how strong partnerships accelerate offshore wind development and fuel job creation and local supply chain capacity building. Together, our three companies bring over 200 years of combined experience, uniting global expertise with local capability to support long‑term growth in Nova Scotia.”
The partnership does not disclose financial terms, but it is expected to strengthen Centuri’s backlog and provide access to a pipeline of projects in Atlantic Canada. The collaboration also positions Centuri to leverage its existing large‑scale infrastructure expertise to meet the specific technical and safety requirements of offshore wind construction, potentially improving margins and market share in this high‑growth segment.
