History
[edit]The company, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Europe, was established on 8 October 2007.[1]
MPSE is – according to its website – focused on bringing together technology and expertise into one division.[2] It, along with its sister companies Mitsubishi Power Systems America and Mitsubishi Power Systems Asia-Pacific, is a part of the Mitsubishi Group of companies.
In April 2009, MPSE acquired Maintenance Partners NV, a Belgium firm that specialised in the maintenance, repair, and reconditioning of electrical equipment.[3]
On 25 February 2010 it was announced that MPSE would fund a research project looking into wind turbine technology. It would invest more than £100m in offshore wind turbine research in Britain and create up to 200 jobs by 2014.[4] The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change also announced that it was to help fund the project, which it will do with a grant of £30 million.[5]
At the time of the announcement Business Secretary Lord Mandelson and David Warren British Ambassador to Japan both spoke favorably of the relationship between Mitsubishi and its investment in wind turbine R&D and the UK's growing low-carbon sector.[6][7]
