E.on to offer wind O&M services in UK, Italy

German renewables-focused utility E.on SE (ETR:EOAN) said on Tuesday it will start offering wind farm operation and maintenance (O&M) services to customers in the UK and Italy.

The service scope will cover full and tailored O&M solutions for wind farm owners in these countries, where the combined installed wind capacity surpasses 25,000 MW. E.on noted that it has the know-how to maintain wind turbine types from different manufacturers.

"We anticipate an increase in demand for maintaining and overseeing sites, since the warranty periods for many of these installations is set to expire," said Anja Isabel-Dotzenrath, Chair of the Executive Board at E.on Climate & Renewables.

E.on Climate & Renewables has been servicing the wind industry in Sweden and the US since 2015, and started offering services to wind park owners in Germany at the start of 2017.
