Full Circle Wind Services has begun servicing four Enercon turbines at the Strathallan wind farm in Scotland.
The company has signed a new, long-term, operations and maintenance contract with Zephyrus Green Energy with the assistance of GreenCat Renewables, a Scottish-based energy consultancy company
The deal covers full-scope scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and 24/7 remote monitoring for four Enercon E-70 units with a total capacity of 9.2MW.
The Strathallan wind farm, in Perthshire, is a newly constructed site consisting of turbines that were decommissioned in the Netherlands and re-installed and commissioned, following refurbishment, by Business in Wind.
Following completion of site commissioning, Full Circle will commence services in May 2024.
Full Circle Wind Services chief executive Billy Stevenson said: “We are delighted to have been selected by Green Cat Renewables and Zephyrus Green Energy to service their Enercon turbines at Strathallan.
“This new contract is yet another vote of confidence in Full Circle’s expertise and professionalism in multi-brand O&M service.
“We are looking forward to collaborating with Green Cat Renewables and Zephyrus Green Energy to keep their Strathallan Enercon turbines in optimal condition and support their energy contribution to the Scottish grid.”
Green Cat Group chief executive Gavin Catto said: “Strathallan is an exciting new development for Green Cat. In the later phases, it is planned that the wind project will be married up with a solar farm and used for co-located generation of electrolytic hydrogen.
“This use of co-located technologies, and the use of second-hand machines, are just some of the innovative ways we are responding to the changing needs and economics of the energy industry in Scotland.
“We look forward to a long-term, mutually beneficial working relationship with Full Circle.”
