Wind Energy delivers - but O&M comes at a cost

It's no secret that wind energy is now accepted world wide as a reliable renewable energy source. Clean, green and affordable are just some of the credentials which have resulted in a prosperous 30% growth rate for the last decade. And 2008 has shown itself to be the year when the true worth of wind energy has been realised by investors. This valuable asset has been seriously overlooked!

Wind is entering a new era. Many onshore sites are coming to the end of their warranty period and offshore development is generating momentum. This means Operations and Maintenance is set to dominate your 2008 schedule. Accounting for 20-25% of total production costs per kilowatt hour, O&M can simply not be ignored. In fact it will categorically determine the future productivity of your site and dictate your profits!

kilowatt hour, O&M can simply not be ignored"

And that’s before we even consider offshore projects. Due to fierce competition from a buoyant oil and gas industry, simple economics and complicated logistics, development of the wind industry has until now been kept firmly onshore. However, if we are serious about achieving the 2020 targets it is simply undeniable that offshore development is essential - it has greater wind speed, less turbulence, and space is no longer a constricting factor. Successful offshore development will improve energy security and seriously boost your company’s bottom line!
