Attention to the technical performance of a plant and opportunities to improve is a constant necessity for all renewable assets. Without proper technical management, performance of assets will degrade over time, increasing long-term costs and eating away at your revenue. Projects that stand still are actually going backwards.
EMSL’s technical support can help increase the load factor and availability of your asset, improving returns and better controlling costs. Whether it is capital projects for improving performance or economics, systems for effective fuel quality control on fuelled assets, or root cause analysis of equipment failures, our extensive technical experience means we can improve the performance of both new projects and mature operational assets.
Our experience of project development means we understand the possible unforeseen consequences and benefits of making changes. We also understand how different contracts fit together and how interfaces between stakeholders come into play when making changes. Technical changes often have consenting, permitting and commercial consequences that may not be apparent.
EMSL’s technical team has provided support to power stations and generators throughout the UK since 2011 which included clients such as Glennmont Partners and Greencoat Capital. The assets we currently manage include the Sleaford, Margam and Templeborough biomass plants and wind farms throughout the UK.
Dummuies was the first wind farm developed by Eco2 Limited, and has been operating since 2007. Located near Huntly in North Aberdeenshire, it has an installed capacity of 12.25 MW comprising of seven Vestas V66 machines.
The EMSL team successfully managed the operation of Dummuies Wind Farm on behalf of its owner, IKEA, for ten years. EMSL provided comprehensive operational management and reporting services for the project and the availability and performance was consistently above set KPIs. EMSL was audited annually on its operational performance by IKEA and was ranked as one of their top asset managers, year on year.
