Why does the energy sector demand perfection?
The energy sector – both conventional energy and the rapidly growing renewable energy market – relies on highly specialized technical, legal, and regulatory terminology. An error in translating a wind turbine specification, PV farm grid connection documentation, or an environmental report can cost an investor millions and result in months of delays.
At BTD Services, we understand that translating energy-sector content is not simply a matter of replacing words from one language with those of another. It requires in-depth knowledge of IEC standards, EU legislation and regulatory frameworks, including RED II and the EU Taxonomy, Energy Regulatory Office (URE) procedures, and the terminology used by engineers and lawyers alike. That's why every project in this sector is assigned to translators with technical or legal backgrounds who work with energy-related documentation on a daily basis.
Our ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certifications ensure consistent, controlled quality at every stage of the process – from order intake, through native-speaker verification, to delivery of the finished document.
What do we translate for the energy sector?
We translate a full range of industry-specific documentation, including:
Wind farms (onshore and offshore) – turbine technical specifications, Environmental Impact Reports (EIR), tender documents, and EPC/O&M contracts
PV installations – solar farm designs, grid connection documentation, LCOE analyses, and inverter installation and operation manuals
Energy storage (BESS) – battery system specifications, safety documentation, certificates, and grid code reports
Grid and power infrastructure – Transmission and Distribution Grid Codes (IRiESP/IRiESD), transformer station designs, and grid connection agreements
Regulations and compliance – the RED II Directive, the EU Taxonomy, decisions and regulations issued by the Polish Energy Regulatory Office (URE), integrated permits, and environmental decisions
Offshore wind – offshore wind farm documentation, geotechnical surveys, O&M contracts, and due diligence reports
Biogas and biomass – biogas plant designs, feedstock analyses, and sustainability certificates
Conventional power generation – boiler and turbine operating manuals, power plant maintenance documentation, and power purchase agreements (PPAs)
Languages for the global energy sector
We offer translation into 35+ languages. In the energy sector, we most often work with the following language combinations:
Western Europe: English, German, Dutch
Key languages for the offshore wind and wind energy sectors. Germany and the Netherlands are leaders in turbine manufacturing, while English remains the working language of international tenders and financial reporting.
Scandinavia: Norwegian, Swedish, Danish
Key markets for European offshore energy. We translate documentation for projects led by global industry leaders – from feasibility studies to operational technical manuals.
Central and Eastern Europe: Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Ukrainian
Fast-growing renewable energy markets across the CEE region. We translate tender documents for projects financed through national recovery and resilience plans and EU-funded programmes.
Why choose BTD Services?
Translators with technical backgrounds
Our specialists aren't just linguists – they are engineers and lawyers who understand the technical requirements and importance of the documents they translate.
Security and confidentiality
