Onshore Wind Operation & Maintenance
Installing a wind turbine or developing a small wind farm is just the start. Ongoing Operation and Maintenance (O&M) is essential to maximise performance, extend asset life, and secure the best financial returns.
At Renewables First, we don’t carry out routine turbine servicing ourselves – that’s usually provided by the turbine manufacturer under a maintenance contract. Instead, we provide complete onshore wind O&M services, managing the process on your behalf and taking care of everything else needed to keep your system running smoothly.

What We Do
1. Maintenance Management
- If your turbine is serviced under a manufacturer’s package, we’ll coordinate with them directly — whether that’s Enercon’s maintenance and repair service or EWT’s service and maintenance support.
Benefit to you: Confidence that all aspects of your turbine or wind farm are properly maintained and cared for.
2. Performance & Monitoring
- Day-to-day monitoring of your turbine or wind farm to confirm everything is working as it should
- Act as the first point of contact for any alarms or alerts from the turbine control system
- Check actual performance against expected output and investigate underperformance quickly
- Recommend improvements to maximise efficiency and generation
Benefit to you: Proactive wind turbine monitoring ensures your project operates safely, efficiently, and with minimal downtime.
3. Commercial Oversight
- Track Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) opportunities and advise on the most competitive rates available
- Provide clear reporting on generation, revenue, and costs
- Help ensure your project delivers strong, consistent financial returns
Benefit to you: Optimised earnings from your wind energy investment.
4. Day-to-Day Support
- Be your dedicated partner for operational queries and technical issues
- Liaise with contractors, grid operators, and other stakeholders on your behalf
- Handle compliance, reporting, and general problem-solving
Benefit to you: One reliable point of contact managing the details, so you don’t have to.

If you have a lot of land, you will have a lot of renewable energy generation potential, often utilising different technologies. We can assess your land and building assets to identify the sites with the highest potential, then provide all of the services you need to get the sites fully assessed, designed, consented and built. For some clients we operate the finished system for them so they have minimal disruption and just get the financial benefit produced. In some cases we can link ‘investors looking for sites’ with ‘landowners looking for investment’.
We work with a lot of businesses that want to a) reduce their energy bills and b) significantly reduce their carbon emissions. This is our core business. We can do everything from detailed feasibility studies, through the design and consenting stages and then build your system. We understand that any disruption to your day-to-day operations during the construction stage must be minimised and are very familiar with designing systems that are compliant with the needs of commercial insurance companies. As the client, you can be as involved, or not involved, as you want to be - either way we will appoint a Project Engineer to be your knowledgeable first point of contact and keep you informed throughout the process. Our expertise will deliver you an optimised renewable energy generation system that will reduce energy costs and carbon emissions and look great on your marketing material.
We’ve done many projects with utility companies. We are adept at high-level portfolio and site assessments to identify potential projects, all of the way to detailed design, consenting and construction. We are familiar with your critical day-to-day operational functions which must not be compromised, your strict adherence to the highest standards of Health & Safety and rigorous approval processes that must be followed at all project stages.
We support co-operatives and local groups with the technical engineering and project delivery of community-scale renewable projects. Community groups can generally access a lot of grants, particularly to find the feasibility and consenting stages – we are always abreast of what is available and happy to discuss how to access these grants. We can also point groups towards template group structures that are available to use, and introduce new groups to community groups that have been through the process and have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share.
We work with local authorities for the operation and maintenance of existing renewable energy systems, design and build new systems and undertake consultancy work on whole-area renewable energy resource assessments, which often form the basis of local development plans. Many local authorities have ambitious carbon reduction targets to meet, so our expertise in actually designing and building systems makes us a reassuring partner in any project.
We’ve worked with private individuals, family offices and investment funds to deliver technically robust, long-term renewable generation projects. Our focus is on dependable engineering delivery and attractive project ROI.
We work with high-demand residential properties where there is space for larger renewable systems. We can offer conventional grid connected systems, fully off-grid capable systems in case electricity supplies fail in the future and energy (battery) storage systems. Systems can be designed to be discreet, and we will respect your privacy.
We help schools, colleges, and universities deploy on-site renewables for cost savings, resilience, and climate education. Educational institutions often have complex consumption data, but we are adept at analysing this to understand when you need generation. We can assess your building and land portfolio for its renewable energy potential and recommend the best options, then design and deliver it. Operational Health & Safety are always key considerations in educational settings and we can recommend appropriate mitigations.
Our building and land portfolio assessment services are key for identifying the best renewable energy generation opportunities, then we can design and deliver systems that are sympathetic to the particular building’s aesthetic or land’s ecological sensitivities.
