DISTRIBUTED WIND


Julian Martin, CEO of ICE Renewables said; “We were not happy with the level of service we received for our customers and soon realised the turbines were not being well looked after and our customers were unhappy. Because of this, we took the decision to bring the service in-house. We haven’t looked back and currently operate and maintain 12 Vergnet medium wind turbines with our last quarter availability rate being an average of 99.6%.”


with a fleet that extends from Edinburgh to Cornwall and from Suffolk to Newark, ICE has a proven track record for the delivery of these specialised services and is committed to bring this offer to the market place.


DEDICATED TO LONG TERM SUPPORT Julian continued; “Some installers are only interested in the setup of the wind turbine and not their long term operations and maintenance commitment, so potential wind turbine owners need to think carefully about who they choose to construct their turbine and ensure they work with reputable companies with a local presence who are dedicated to the long term support of their wind project.”


MARKET LEADER


Established in 2006, the company has successfully achieved a market leading position in the distribution, installation and operations and maintenance of wind turbines across Britain however, in its earlier years, had first-hand experience with the issues of subcontracting to an external operations & Maintenance firm.


MINIMISING DOWN TIME “Our customers want good communication, fast response time, to minimise their turbines down time, well trained engineers, a good relationship with the manufacturer and a set of complementary added value services such as high voltage maintenance work and blade repair, so that they do not have gaps in the service of their turbine.”


O&M STRATEGY – A PRIORITY A good O&M strategy is increasingly a priority for manufacturers, developers and customers as it can extend the lifetime of your turbine, reduce costs and increase availability. Nightmare stories of customers being left with turbines not working, no proper operations and maintenance contracts, a lack of turbine parts, installers who have walked away or manufacturers not set up to deal with the maintenance of their fleets, are real issues facing the industry and ICE Renewables has set out to improve medium wind standards and offer a quality assured service across the UK.
