Management for your wind farm
Operational management –
Transparent and efficient
Our experienced operations management team helps maximise the energy yield and operational efficiency of your wind farm.
We currently manage a portfolio with a total capacity of 3 GW through our technical and commercial operations management services (TOM & COM). Our clients range from institutional investors and investment funds to community energy cooperatives, municipal utilities and energy producers.
The efficient operation of your wind farm depends on the seamless coordination of various operational tasks, from proactive operations management and regular maintenance and inspections to 24/7 remote monitoring. We help you minimise downtime wherever possible. We also keep track of statutory inspection deadlines, including periodic inspections, DGUV V3 electrical safety inspections and pressure vessel inspections, and support you in coordinating them.
BASE, PLUS or additional modules: The right concept for everyone
Extreme mechanical loads combined with long operating times place significant demands on wind farm operations management. At the same time, every wind farm is a unique technical asset. That is why our modular technical and commercial operations management services offer a high degree of flexibility. In addition to our BASIS and PLUS packages, you can select individual services to suit your specific requirements. We will be happy to advise you personally and help you find the right solution.

Our services in detail
On-demand night-time marking: Ask the experts
We will support you in the implementation of your night-time marking solution. When reviewing your individual situation, we will consider in detail the local factors and requirements: from technical inspection, e.g. of existing interfaces, to the clarification of permit requirements, we will take a close look at all points. We then research relevant providers for your site and move into the technical planning stage. On your behalf, we evaluate offers in terms of investment and operating costs, scope of services, and risk. This includes assessing the possibility of exemption from the retrofitting obligation on grounds of economic unreasonableness. We provide answers to questions like: Does my wind farm meet the technical requirements? Can or must we include neighbouring wind farms for an active or passive radar system? Do necessary adjustments to the BImSchG permit have to be taken into account during implementation?
In addition to outlining possible courses of action and providing recommendations, we prepare a detailed project schedule for you, including the necessary permitting steps. Would you like us to manage and implement the project for you completely? From the financial plan to installation, we are happy to assume responsibility for your wind farm’s on-demand night-time marking.
