Eco2’s Wind Asset Management Team can look after the performance of your asset and ensure it is delivering the intended performance.
While onshore wind assets can be simpler to operate than other renewable technologies, they still need careful management to maintain the best performance.
Our remote teams can provide daily monitoring of your wind asset to ensure it performs to the highest industry standards. The services we provide are designed so that the day to-day running of your project is as smooth, safe and secure as possible, giving you peace of mind.
With our teams across the UK, we are close at hand to the wind assets we manage when site inspections are needed. Our experience of taking wind projects from concept, through development and construction to ongoing operation means that we understand the potential issues that can face wind assets and work to resolve them quickly.
Our excellent relationships with energy off-takers mean we can often secure more favourable Power Purchasing Agreements for our clients in PPA auctions. Better deals on PPAs are usually enjoyed only by investment funds with large renewables portfolios, but Eco2’s relationships and economies of scale means we can also help smaller operators access these deals, as well as our larger clients.
Unlike some other contractors or asset managers, we have the capability to provide 24/7 operational control centre support, in compliance with Renewables UK’s Wind Turbine Safety Rules.
