PO.53
Challenges
It is generally recognized that uncertainty in operational expenditure
(OPEX) constitutes a significant risk when building a business case for
the financing of an offshore wind farm. An O&M Contract that eliminates
or de-risk these uncertainties will help to improve the owners business
case. By reducing contingencies within the budget, lenders will be
attracted to invest. This means the O&M Contract can become a tool to
increase the bankability of the project.
