S1 - Repowering

13 Nov - From 10:00 to 11:50

Introduction

Repowering means renewing the value chain for existing wind farms. Repowering comprises dismantling older systems and constructing new wind turbines meeting the latest performance standards on the same or neighbouring site to achieve an enhanced energy yield. Taking account of current planning guidelines, this enables a sensible concentration of wind energy to be achieved in suitable locations from a zoning perspective without having to allocate new land.

Javier López Nieto, Global Head of O&M (excl US) - Onshore Wind and Solar at Iberdrola

Iberdrola is a global leader in renewable energy. Iberdrola operates many legacy turbines and repowering is a very interesting option. Usually, these turbine-specific owners' meetings are hosted by O2O WIND, but we have asked the wind asset owners to help us in Madrid.

A big thank you to Iberdrola!

Is this your cup of tea?

Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?

  • Choosing the right turbine - Perform comprehensive site assessments to evaluate wind resources, environmental impact, and potential constraints for optimal turbine placement.

  • How to navigate and comply with intricate regulatory frameworks, ensuring adherence to evolving environmental, safety, and permitting requirements.

  • How do you evaluate the economic viability of repowering by considering upfront costs, available incentives, and long-term return on investment?

  • How to coordinate with grid operators to integrate repowered turbines into the existing electrical grid infrastructure.

  • How to Overcome Supply Chain Challenges - Mitigate potential delays or disruptions in the supply chain for turbine components, ensuring timely project completion.

Joining this discussion with identical peers from other WTG owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
