The Challenge
Powering an off-grid wind farm development
A hold up with mains grid connection was putting an onshore wind farm’s development at risk of serious delay. A lack of power would mean hold-ups in commissioning new turbines, and the developer failing to meet the deadline for its Renewables Obligation Certificate (ROC).
They also needed to keep the turbines turning to meet the manufacturer’s warranty conditions.
To keep things on track, the wind farm developer asked our renewables team to supply temporary power.
