25. Critical to Success Factors
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Health & safety
Be really flexible
Align your drivers to the owners
Find ways to work around the weather
Offer environmentally-friendly solutions
Getting through the procurement “barrier”
Sell the benefits of “local” suppliers

26. Benefits of local suppliers
•
•
•
•
•
Can react to changing weather better
Cheaper to mobilise and de-mobilise
Local knowledge and experience
Good PR for the owners of the windfarm
Future licenses may require more local content for
new windfarms

Renewable Energy Operations & Maintenance. Support and Improvement from Experience.
27. What more could be done to
encourage this sector?
• Form collaborations / networks to
sell a wider range of services
• Develop new operating models
that align better with the drivers of
the windfarm owners
• Develop a recognised Quality Mark
to help with “bankability”

28. Conclusions
Turbines numbers are growing to a critical mass
which could sustain an independent offshore wind
operations & maintenance support sector.
the Irish Sea is one of the largest clusters in the
UK
the industry needs contractors who understand
our challenges, can innovate & deliver
for those that get it right there are opportunities
across the wider UK and beyond…
