In-house Concepts in Wind Farm Operations

- Top Directors on how to Manage Profitability, Control and Risks - 30 to 31 of Oct, Madrid

Please complete the preparations found at the lower end of this page.

Iberdrola hosts the meeting at their Innovation & Training Campus. The meeting is held from Lunch-to-lunch meeting on the 30-31 of October. We are gathering the top directors developing in-house concepts for their wind farm operations and how they could better manage profitability, control and risks in collaboration.

Purpose

In-house concepts include many possibilities, from excluding components from the LTSA to completely internalising O&M. In-house concepts allow you to become more profitable and gain better control. Still, it also means that you need to carry more risk. 

Owners who have this strategy immediately become more alone and have more use for collaboration with other wind asset owners having the same strategy.

The purpose is to learn from each other and to shape projects for common needs. When we find a common need, O2O WIND will draft a project, including the most appropriate person/consultant to lead it, launch it and follow up on the results.

Doing it in collaboration means that it is cheaper, faster and gives us more leverage.

The second meeting for this group

• Developing ISP to increase competition, 
• A spare part collaboration among wind asset owners
• A centralized global database of suppliers in WIND O&M
• Collaborate on technical documentation
• Collaboration to achieve improved access to SCADA

Once you have booked, you will receive more detailed information on these initiatives.

Form 1 - Participants

Please share the participants' contact information and food preferences below. You can submit this form now and form 2, with the challenges later.

Form 2 - Our agenda
Our agenda is the most genuine agenda we could have. Every challenge on the agenda is based on reel events experienced by an energy company operating wind turbines with the strategy to implement in-house concepts. Furthermore, all the people who have formulated these challenges will be found at our meeting: the top directors themselves. Avoid formulating grand and mighty challenges with the ambition to impress your peers. Maybe you will impress the less experienced people in the room, but you will have less input from the more experienced ones. An agenda with the initiatives from Rome is found at this link.

This is an invite-only event. We will not include participants through video links. Either you will be around the table at the Iberdrola Campus or not. It simply creates more valuable discussions.
