Peterson Energies, the energy logistics firm, has reported robust financial results for the year ending December 31, 2025, with revenues reaching €463 million (approximately £389 million).
The company also recorded Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) of €17.3 million (approximately £14.5 million). These figures underscore a resilient operational performance, despite what the company characterised as a “challenging” market environment in the United Kingdom.
The company, which employs approximately 700 individuals, leveraged its logistics and technology operations across both traditional oil and gas and the burgeoning renewables sectors to achieve these results.
Chief Executive Sarah Moore commented on the performance, stating: “Our 2025 results reflect the strength, consistency, and resilience of our business. We continue to deliver reliable, high-quality services to our customers, reinforcing our position as a robust and low-risk partner in a complex and evolving energy market.”
Moore further emphasised the strategic importance of Peterson’s international presence: “We have demonstrated the value of our international footprint, and our experience reinforces the value of taking a basin-wide view of the North Sea. We have seen how a coordinated, cross-border approach can unlock efficiencies and deliver better outcomes for customers.”
In 2025, Peterson secured a new contract with an established oil and gas client, encompassing technology, cargo operations, warehousing, quayside services, and road transport across the North Sea and East Irish Sea.
The firm also expanded its footprint in the renewables sector, notably securing work for the East Anglia THREE offshore wind farm, where it provides aviation and emergency response services from its UK bases in Norwich Airport and the Port of Lowestoft.
Additionally, its involvement with the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm saw services delivered from both its UK and Dutch operations. The Sofia project, located 195km off the UK east coast with a capacity of 1.4GW, marks a significant step, being the first offshore wind farm in UK waters to utilise shared cargo runs from the Netherlands, demonstrating an innovative approach to logistical efficiency.
The Chief Executive drew a contrast between the operational environments in the UK and the Netherlands.

“Not only does our international footprint deliver directly for our customers, it also provides stability for our organisation,” Moore noted. “The market and policy environments in the UK in 2025 were undoubtedly challenging and remain so.” She highlighted that these conditions impose “a significant burden on supply chain companies” and contrasted this with the Netherlands, where “stable and supportive policy frameworks” facilitate the progress of renewables alongside ongoing oil and gas developments, sustaining supply chain activity and investment.
Indeed, the UK energy sector in 2025 faced a landscape of political shifts, policy uncertainties, and infrastructure challenges, impacting investor confidence in large-scale projects like offshore wind. Conversely, the Netherlands has actively pursued ambitious renewable energy targets, planning to introduce renewable hydrogen obligations by 2025-26 and prioritising grid access for renewable energy producers under its New Energy Act 2025.
During the year, Peterson further invested in its global capabilities by opening a new base in IJmuiden, Netherlands, launching a global consultancy offering, and advancing its Lighthouse technology platform with new AI capabilities. Peterson Energies is part of the Royal Peterson and Control Union Group, a diversified international entity operating across more than 75 countries.
