Repowering wind projects require a proactive and collaborative approach to safety, planning, and execution. Unlike new construction, repowering introduces unique challenges due to legacy infrastructure, evolving stakeholder roles, and overlapping regulatory standards.
Early identification of potential issues (technical, environmental, contractual, or operational) is critical to minimizing risk and ensuring smooth project delivery.
A successful wind repower begins with a shared understanding of the project’s scope, constraints, and potential hazards. This includes legacy infrastructure, environmental considerations, and regulatory requirements. Proactive engagement during the planning phase allows teams to surface issues early, before contracting, and resolve ambiguities that could impact execution.
This document captures key lessons learned from repowering wind projects to help industry stakeholders anticipate risks, improve planning, and enhance safety outcomes. By identifying common hazards, regulatory complexities, and coordination gaps early in the process, teams can reduce incidents, streamline execution, and ensure compliance.
