In July, the production was mostly affected by the the lower average wind speed and the planned maintenance.

Average wind speed (m/s)ca. 5.3 m/s

In July, the production was mostly affected by the the lower average wind speed and the planned maintenance.

July has been a maintenance intensive month, as the wind speed gets lower, and production losses minimized. The current activities are for example:

  • Blade repairs
  • Wind turbines inspections

Some roads are also receiving care to ensure proper condition prior next winter season. This is done throughout the months of June, July and August.

In 2023, to date, the remaining activities are:

  • Completion of blade repairs started in 2022 as well as the one scheduled and started in 2023
  • Continuing the planned annual maintenance as per the maintenance manual
  • Site inspections
  • Repairs at site building
  • HSE audit

The high precipitation in July (red notice warning in some areas in Sweden) led to some waiting days, and a delay in the progress of the maintenance. It is expected to regain a more sustained rhythm as the days are getting drier in August. Summer are busy working months at the wind farm.

The focus in June was to continue the started maintenance tasks, and carry out the next tasks in the annual planned maintenance during the low wind day, with for example:

 

  • Blade repairs
  • Wind turbines inspections
  • Some statutory inspections

 

There is also the maintenance of the civil works (roads condition) to ensure proper condition prior next winter season. This is done throughout the months of June, July and August.

 

In 2023, the remaining activities are:

 

  • Completion of blade repairs started in 2022 as well as the one scheduled and started in 2023
  • Continuing the planned annual maintenance as per the maintenance manual
  • Site inspections
  • Repairs at site building
  • HSE audit

 

With the dry season back, the maintenance is full speed to ensure all is completed when conditions are the most work friendly.

Safety and environmental incidents0

In April, the production was mainly affected by the lower wind speed. It is circa 18% less than the long-term wind speed.

The focus in April was to perform the first tasks of the annual planned maintenance during the low wind speed day, with for instance:

  • Blade annual inspection
  • Wind turbines inspections
  • Some statutory inspections

There was as well some work to adjust the planning of the activities for 2023.

In 2023, there will be:

  • Completion of blade repairs started in 2022 as well as the one scheduled for 2023
  • Planned annual maintenance as per the maintenance manual
  • Site inspections
  • HSE audit

 

In addition to low wind, the winter came back, with a few days of significant snow fall.

It leads to postponing some planned activities. Extra attention to ice and/or soft grounds are important when visiting the wind farm.

Wellcome Vindr

 

Determined to start a new growth phase, Vindr welcomes InfraVia, via its Swedish entity Treblade, as its new shareholder in order to boost its development efforts

The new partners will combine Vindr’s portfolio of projects and development skills, Treblade experience in building and operating onshore wind projects and InfraVia’s financing capabilities in order to create a leading independent wind power producer in the Nordics and Baltics.

 

In line with the European and National focus in reducing CO2 emissions and bringing competitive clean energy sources to communities, industrials and municipalities, InfraVia will support the growth of Vindr in these regions, the development of local expertise and competencies, and finally play a critical role in contributing to the targets set in the Paris Agreement.

 

Vindr invests in community-focused wind projects across Nordics and Baltics. The company has a pipeline of 3GW+ of onshore wind projects close to consumption in areas with capacity constraints.

 

“We are excited to continue our journey with a strong partner backing our ambitious development plan, and look forward to the synergies and experienced infrastructure investor brings“, says Camilla Andersson, co-founder at Vindr.

 

“In InfraVia we found a partner who not only shares our vision of wind project development, but also can elevate our strategy by adding stability and experience that will bring much needed green energy to the market faster”,  says Jan-Olav Oderud, co-founder at Vindr.

 

“Through our partnership with InfraVia we have now a stable and long-term deal in place to deliver on our commitments to society and industry in the Baltics as we continue the journey towards net-zero and domestic security of supply in an era of global political turmoil”, says Marko Viiding, member of management
board of Vindr Baltic OÜ.

  • The clean up will be completed in 2023
  • The conclusion of the root cause analysis was finalized and reported to Länsstyrelsen

 

The focus in December has been the last task under the planned maintenance for 2022. The ice has impacted the production, and made some maintenance tasks more lengthy.

 

The remaining two blades repairs will be done in 2023 together with the planned maintenance.

When there is planned maintenance, roadblocks are installed.

The site team then demobilized all main activities for the last two weeks of the month to prepare for the winter break.

The standby team was though on site to attend all potential trouble shooting.

Over the Christmas break, the windfarm did produce smoothly, and no major or urgent were required.

 

Due to the winter and icing conditions, it is important for people to pay attention when going in the vicinity of the wind farm.

Additional signs were put at the entrances of the wind farm

 

It is now time to wish you MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
