Wind energy software provider Clir Renewables has hired Didier Fravega to expand the company’s wind optimisation platform across Latin America.
Fravega was previously technical sales manager at Senvion, business development manager at Coral Energia and wind technical leader for Latin America at GE.
Clir chief revenue officer Craig McCall said: “There has been a massive boost in both investment and project development across Latin America over the past decade.
“However, in order to sustain profits in an increasingly uncertain market, project owners must optimise the performance of each of their assets.
“In order to better support project owners in understanding exactly what is holding their assets back, we are delighted to announce that Didier Fravega joined us this month.
“Didier has demonstrated his in-depth technical and industry expertise throughout his career, and his skill nurturing relationships with project owners across the Latin American wind industry will be invaluable to Clir’s outreach in the market.”
Fravega said: “Clir has proved itself to be an industry cornerstone by working with asset owners across Europe and North America to overcome the financial challenges that come with uncertainty around political support for renewables.
“I am very much looking forward to supporting Clir in bringing the unparalleled insight into asset performance its AI-based platform provides to wind project owners in Latin America, where despite a boom in new project development, owners are seeing significantly lower returns than they should expect thanks to widespread asset underperformance.”
