Dutch sub-1MW turbine maker Emergya Wind Technologies (EWT) has launched a new independent business providing wind turbine service and maintenance.
The new company Full Circle was set up in response to growing demand for “first-class support” as wind power projects roll out across Europe.
Full Circle brings together EWT’s “20 years’ experience of best practices and engineering capabilities with the flexibility of an independent service provider”.
Full Circle will provide regular maintenance, corrective maintenance, blade inspection and repair, 24/7 365 remote monitoring, and statutory inspections for wind turbine operators.
The company’s services will cater for wind power projects from 1 to 100 turbines.
EWT chief executive Renger Idema said: “As wind turbine sites grow across Europe and as the existing fleet of wind turbines continues to age, operators need trusted, agile and responsive support.
“The launch of Full Circle will provide a reliable service to help them keep their turbines running and performing at the best of their ability.”
Full Circle will be backed by EWT, which has installed over 600 turbines and its technicians have been servicing and maintaining them ever since, resulting in an average technical availability of over 98%.
Atlas Invest is the majority shareholder of both EWT and Full Circle in a shareholder group that also comprises Emerald Technology Ventures and the Wedge Group.
Heleen van Poecke, investment manager with Atlas Invest, said: “We are excited to support EWT and Full Circle in this next phase and strongly believe in the ability of both companies to play a key role in the energy transition.”
