Repowering
It has been quite some time since the first wind farms were built and many are approaching the end of their technical lifetime. At the same time, first-generation wind turbines do not produce as much electricity as today’s, prompting installation owners to consider the next steps. Dismantling, new construction, or continued operation?
One possibility that we will certainly see more of in the future is repowering, or renewal, where old turbines are replaced with new, more modern and more powerful turbines.
In a repowering project, there are many aspects to consider. A new permit process needs to be initiated and issues from previous permit processes are revisited. Planning and calculating how to carry out the dismantling and installation of new wind turbines requires good knowledge of site conditions, the possibilities of obtaining a new permit, and implementing a successful repowering project.
If you are wondering if repowering is for you, please contact us for a no-obligation conversation. We help you analyse the best time for a possible renewal, the site conditions, investment costs and more.
