Full Circle Wind Services has started delivering on a maintenance contract on four Enercon E-70 turbines at Delabole wind farm, Cornwall.
The work includes preventative and corrective maintenance services, remote monitoring and control, inspections, servicing and replacement of main components, and an availability guarantee.
The long-term, full-scope, contract had been awarded by the Bluefield Solar Income Fund (BSIF) via its operating company for the wind farm.
Billy Stevenson, CEO of Full Circle, said: “We established Full Circle as an independent business from EWT, because we believe that a dedicated O&M specialist will provide better quality and value for wind farm owners and operators than OEM support.
“In the year and a half since we launched, we have built out a strong team with multi-brand experience, including people with direct experience at Enercon working in engineering, management, supply chain, and quality, health & safety and environment.
“We are delighted that following a competitive tender, Bluefield has recognised that our decades of experience in direct-drive wind turbines, combined with our specialist focus on O&M, makes Full Circle the right partner for Delabole. We look forward to making a positive impact on operational efficiency and profitability at the wind farm, in line with our current average worldwide availability of over 99%.”
Luke Roberts, Senior Commercial Director of Bluefield Solar Income Fund, added: “We are pleased to award the maintenance contract for Delabole wind farm to Full Circle, who have demonstrated their experienced team are well positioned to manage the Enercon turbines. We look forward working with them in the years ahead.”
