S1 - Risk and experience dealing with Chinese turbines

13 Nov - From 10:00 to 11:50

Introduction

European and North American turbine manufacturers are very slow in adapting to wind asset owners' needs, which creates a huge window for Chinese wind turbines. Chinese turbines is being considered more and more. This roundtable will explore key risks—such as supply chain reliability, O&M challenges, and performance variability—alongside the benefits, including cost competitiveness and increasing technological advancements. Together, we will compare real-world experiences, discuss contractual considerations, and examine long-term fleet strategies to optimize operational outcomes.

Your moderator for this roundtable

A skilled moderator, selected from our members, will be added soon.

We will make sure to recruit a person who is both a social person, dedicated to sharing and very knowledgeable in his/her field. O2O WIND usually hosts these Owners' Meetings, but we have asked our dear members to help us in Madrid.

Is this your cup of tea?

Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?

  • Are the turbines reliable and proven in similar conditions?

  • Is the manufacturer financially stable and well-supported?

  • Can spare parts be sourced quickly and easily?

  • Is there strong local O&M support?

  • Do the turbines meet grid codes and certification standards?

  • Are the warranty and contract terms favorable?

  • Are there cybersecurity or data security risks?

  • How do existing owners rate their long-term performance and service?

  • Are there political or trade risks?

  • What is the total long-term cost of ownership?

Joining this discussion with identical peers from other WTG owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
