Developing offshore wind projects requires effectively control risks, manage costs, and optimize revenues. At the heart of this preparation lies the implementation of a robust Operations and Maintenance (O&M) strategy, a key determinant of the profitability of your investment in wind energy.
In offshore wind, Operational Expenditure (OPEX) can constitute a significant portion, up to 40%, of the wind farm's lifecycle expenses. The execution of maintenance activities plays a pivotal role in determining the revenues, making an elaborate O&M strategy paramount. Moreover, compliance with regulations and a comprehensive Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policy are integral components of a holistic strategy.
