Wind farm decommissioning

Aratis helps organisations decommission their onshore wind farms

With our Projectmanagement services for wind farm owners and Asset Management parties, we carry out the complete decommissioning process.

Background

• Every wind farm will eventually reach the end of its lifespan, and the site will require some degree of renovation and/or restoration;

• Decommissioning a wind farm is a project in itself that requires careful planning and execution;

• Each wind farm is unique in terms of its origin, location, how it has been operated, and the available decommissioning options;

• Decommissioning a wind farm can be potentially more hazardous than the construction and implementation phase;

• It is the responsibility of all wind farm owners and operators to ensure that decommissioning is consistent with the principles of the circular economy;

Our approach

• For every wind farm, there is an optimal solution when it reaches the end of its lifespan, whether it involves repowering, reuse, or decommissioning;

• Customized solutions are essential to meet customer needs and ensure they derive maximum value from this phase;

• Waste processing is a last resort after all other options for generating value for the customer have been explored;

• Thorough preparation and professional project management are essential to mitigate risks and control costs;

• Every step in the process must be properly managed to ensure compliance with associated regulations, commitments, and obligations of statutory and key non-statutory advisors;

• Effective internal and external communication is essential for successful operation, we developed our own IT projectmanagement system in which we control processes and communicate with all stakeholders involved, at the same time;

• In this way, we achieve tangible results in reducing environmental impact and improving the reuse of primary raw materials;
