Prospects for MediumScale Onshore Wind A Oneday Seminar
Many medium-scale wind projects (ranging from 100kW to 5MW) are now more than ten years old, making it an opportune moment to evaluate the long-term challenges and possibilities they encounter. The discontinuation of FiT and ROC income has significantly altered the financial environment, prompting some owners to weigh options such as upgrading, repowering, or decommissioning their installations. We invite asset owners and industry specialists to a detailed one-day conference dedicated to exploring the current state and future prospects of this vital and distinctive energy sector.
The event will delve into the effects of repowering and refurbishment on medium-scale wind projects, considering aspects like planning, grid connectivity, financial considerations, and technological advancements. Specialists in these areas will deliver concise presentations, followed by interactive panel discussions on the critical issues impacting the industry. This seminar is designed for wind turbine owners, maintenance providers, professionals, engineers, local communities, and policymakers. Seize this opportunity to network and share insights with peers who share your interests.
**Key Discussion Points**:
1. Technology for medium-sized wind turbines
2. Repowering and replacement: approaches and obstacles
3. Grid enhancements and connectivity solutions
4. Planning and evaluation processes
5. Financial sustainability and economic analysis
*To ensure the seminar tackles the most pressing concerns for the industry, the organizers welcome questions in advance. If you have a specific topic or query you’d like addressed during the event, please send it via email to: [email protected]*
