The need for operations and maintenance (O&M) services will continue to increase as the installed US wind base ages and scales. Annual expenditures for O&M in the US wind industry are expected to double from just under $3 billion in 2012 to nearly $6 billion in 2025. This projected boom is making the market for O&M services increasingly competitive. As the industry grows, companies throughout the wind value chain are developing new strategies to efficiently manage O&M. Large wind owners are planning to bring more aspects of O&M in-house to leverage economies of scale. At the same time, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are aggressively expanding the O&M side of their business as new wind additions are set to decline. In addition, a host of full service Independent Service Providers (ISPs) are aiming to provide more cost effective O&M. This Analyst Briefing provides an overview of the competitive landscape for US wind O&M markets, assessing the timing and scale of the opportunity and the most successful emerging business models. Key questions addressed in this webcast include: How are wind project owners planning to manage O&M on their existing fleets? How are ISP and OEM offerings adapting to customer demand? Which types of companies are best positioned to capture the O&M opportunity? How will new technologies and performance upgrades impact O&M strategies and costs moving forward?
