AWEA Wind Project Profitability and Reliability Workshop

January 19 - 20, 2010
Westin Gaslamp Quarter
910 Broadway Circle
San Diego, CA

Project profitability and reliability are closely related themes of paramount importance to the “bottom line” of any wind power owner/ operator. Increased operating “up-time” and operating efficiency yields increased productivity of the plant, in turn increasing generation and revenue. Reducing costs of repairs, maintenance and overall downtime also have direct benefits to plant profitability. Learn from experts and fellow practitioners how to get the most out of your project through practical insights on successful strategies and approaches for efficient plant operations and maintenance.
