Wind Summit - Houston 2025

The wind energy sector in the USA is spending more than US$2.6 billion annually on operations and maintenance at an average cost of $6.25 per megawatt-hour produced. We have also seen a total of more than US$4.5 billion in lost production due to asset under-performance, negative pricing or curtailments.

Register today and join us in October 2025 in Houston, Texas for this exclusive event to learn best practices from technical experts that will allow you to extract more profit from your projects.

Lightning Protection

We will explore the realities of lightning interactions with wind turbines, gaps between IEC standards and what is happening in the field with data from the global operating fleet in lightning hot spots. You will learn what reactive vs. proactive actions can be taken to safeguard your wind farms from unneeded and uncontrollable OPEX spend on lightning repairs.

Gearbox Repair & Refurbishment

How gearboxes are maintained, and when they need to be refurbished can impact asset performance and profitability. Refurbishment can be more expensive, but it can yield performance benefits which will positively impact asset availability. You will learn about the benefits of experienced operators or service providers who have successfully completed lower cost up-tower repairs, and when certain asset owners or operators have chosen to refurbish gearboxes to maximize asset performance.

Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS)

In a heavily OEM contracted market, it is difficult for operators to have a clear view of what is happening in the field. Aftermarket CMS can solve that problem and put some decision-making power back into your hands. You will learn what is available in the market, how each type of CMS can aid in decision-making and increased profitability of wind farms and what are the emerging trends in CMS.

Maintenance Practices with OEM, In-house or Independent Providers

Who knows your assets best? Do you have access to the data you need to make decisions on maintenance or operations? Lessons learned from active industry shifts happening in other wind markets will be shared as case studies for the USA. Transparency and collaboration are two of the most sought after items between asset owners and OEM full service agreement holders. This creates a tension over who has ultimate responsibility over the financially well-being of your asset. You will learn how can you work collaboratively with an OEM to arrive at mutually agreeable solutions, as well as some tactics that really work to collaborate with independent service providers who could assist you with bringing your maintenance practices in-house.

Evolution of Insurance Requirements for Wind Energy Assets

The insurance industry looks at risk and opportunity differently than owners, operators, independent service providers (ISPs), and OEMs. Not to be missed, they are a key player in the energy transition allowing for the financial industry to participate fully. You will gain an understanding of how to best work with your insurers/risk managers to facilitate the best terms, costs, and efficient claims processes.

Why Should You Attend?

This event series is intended to provide global wind energy market participants an opportunity to collaborate on their largest operations and maintenance challenges.

This event will cover topics such as: how to manage your assets or how to deal with your asset manager, what types of damage are hampering your asset technical performance, or even how does your asset financial performance rank against other independent power producers in the market?
