S1 - Picking Your OEM Legal Battles
12 Nov - From 10:00 to 11:50
Introduction
Often, at our turbine-specific Owner’s Meeting, engineers present well-prepared technical cases, but the discussions turn into how to actually get the OEM to act. Then it is more about commercial challenges and pursuing a legal path. Wind asset owners increasingly face technical challenges in which facts alone do not prompt action from OEMs. This roundtable explores how owners can build stronger cases, demand the right information, escalate effectively, and determine when legal pathways become necessary. Participants will discuss practical strategies for evidence building, escalation, peer benchmarking, and navigating disputes without damaging long-term relationships.
