TIME TO REPOWER YOUR WIND-ENERGY SITE?
REPOWER YOUR WIND-ENERGY Repowering is an investment opportunity for the facility owner, enabling owners to retrofit power plants on existing sites with new and/or refurbished
The Wind Energy End-of-Service Guide is intended to give a foundational understanding about what happens to wind turbines and related infrastructure when a wind energy project is repowered or decommissioned.
So far, more than 14 GW of U.S. projects have already been fully or partially repowered with analysts expecting an additional 16 GW of full or partial repowers through 2026. The Wind Energy End-of-Service Guide is divided into four sections.
In the case of wind projects, off-site purchasers of the power may be hundreds of miles away, in which case the proximity of transmission lines is a consideration for viable sites. A site must also have features that enable a project to be technically feasible. This includes a site's physical and electrical infrastructure.
The infrastructure (e.g., foundations, underground cables, access roads) associated with wind energy projects has its own end-of-service considerations, including the partial in-place disposal of foundations and the full in-place disposal of underground wiring (see Figure 4).
