S4 – LIFE EXTENSION VS REPPOWERING
17 Nov - From 10:00 to 11:50
When does a solar plant stop being worth patching and start needing reinvestment?
As utility-scale solar fleets age, owners face a growing question: keep patching ageing assets or commit to larger reinvestment? The right answer depends on degradation, component obsolescence, market conditions and remaining asset life. Join fellow solar asset owners to compare how they decide when repair no longer makes sense.
Your moderator for this roundtable
Simone Viana, O&M manager at Serveng Energias Renováveis
Simone is looking after five challenging Gamesa wind farms in Brazil. Last year she also flew across to the Owners Roundtable, and we are honoured to have her back in 2026.
Serveng Energias Renováveis S.A. is a renewable energy company active in the development, construction, and operation of wind and solar energy assets, bringing hands-on experience from renewable asset management and operations.
Usually, O2O RENEWABLES moderates our owner-to-owner discussions, but the Owners Roundtable is too big for us to handle, and we have asked our dear members to help us in Amsterdam.
A big thank you to Serveng!
Is this your cup of tea?
Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?
Which technical or financial triggers are owners using to evaluate repowering versus life extension?
How are owners quantifying the true cost of continued patching on ageing plants?
Which ageing components are most often driving repowering decisions?
How are changing market revenues affecting repowering business cases?
What governance process are owners using to make reinvestment decisions across portfolios?
Joining this discussion with identical peers from other Solar owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
