Lucintel believes that an enormous opportunity
is available for suppliers of maintenance,
repair and overhaul services through planned and
unplanned maintenance, annual outages, long-term
service agreements (LTSAs), long term
maintenance contracts, corrective repair, and
complete periodic overhaul of various plant and
equipment (i.e., replacement parts business).
Currently, maintenance, repair and overhaul
costs contribute to 20% - 25% of expenditures in
the wind turbine market. Thus MRO spending
trends are increasingly attracting the attention
of service providers.
From a global perspective, wind power is
undergoing rapid development. Within the past 10
years, the global installed capacity increased
from 7 GW to around 100 GW at the end of
2007. With the aging of wind farms, the
opportunity for after-market service providers
is bound to grow. This research will provide an
understanding of the maintenance, repair and
overhaul requirements and strategies of wind
farms globally, as well as the key strategic
opportunities and players within this sector.
In particular, this study will provide the
following:
1) Current
