Our asset management services are focused on providing value to the asset owner through assistance relating to the regular operations of the plant. Some of the systems currently benefitting from our services are shown above.
Our services anticipate the asset owner’s requirements in terms of the management support of its operations; not only from an asset perspective, but also keeping in mind other stakeholders, such as lenders, suppliers, or advisors. It includes the following activities:
- Communication with the asset owner and all relevant stakeholders, focusing on reporting the owner’s needs and presenting suitable alternatives that can add value to the plant.
- Optimisation of value for the asset owner by maintaining a regular interest in opportunities applicable to the project – such as maximising energy production, minimising downtime, reducing costs.
- Mitigation of operational, financial and technical risks, and avoidance of general distress of the asset owner towards the plant. This includes tracking costs, warranties and ensuring contacts, compliances, and other regulatory requirements are met.
- Selection and implementation of asset management software and portfolio monitoring system for operational projects – such as, monitoring performance of operations assets, issue resolution and coordination of information flow;
The basis for the asset manager’s data and monitoring requirements will be a specialised asset management platform, which will cover the storage and management of operational and non-operational data related to the asset or portfolio. This asset-centric information management approach addresses five key challenges:
(1) Minimising production losses
(2) Significantly improving efficiency
(3) Reducing lack of data transparency
(4) Improving the levelised cost of energy (LCOE)
(5) Positively impacting the return on investment for solar asset owners and operators.
